Clinical and Quality of Life Outcomes Following Temperature-Controlled Radiofrequency Neurolysis of the Posterior Nasal Nerve (RhinAer) for Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis

Background Temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN; RhinAer) is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with chronic rhinitis. Objective To determine clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) following TCRF neurolysis of the PNN. Methods...

Zusammenfassung:	Background Temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN; RhinAer) is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with chronic rhinitis. Objective To determine clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) following TCRF neurolysis of the PNN. Methods A prospective single-arm study of 129 patients with chronic rhinitis at 16 medical centers in the United States and Germany. Results The mean 24-h reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) improved from 7.8 (95% CI, 7.5-8.1) at baseline to 3.6 (95% CI, 3.2-4.0) at 3 months and continued to improve to 2.9 (95% CI, 2.5-3.3) at 6 months (p
