NEUROMODULATION OF PHARYNGEAL NERVES TO TREAT DISEASES

Neuromodulation of nasal nerves to treat diseases is described where one example of a method for treating dysfunctions or diseases in a patient may generally include introducing a treatment device into a nasal cavity of a patient. The distal end of the treatment device may be navigated into proximity of nerve fibers passing through at least one of lesser palatine foramen, a palatovaginal foramen, or a sphenopalatine foramen, or anterior ethmoid foramen. The distal end may then be actuated to ablate all or substantially all of the nerve fibers such that the dysfunction or disease is mitigated.
