Clinical evaluation of a novel multipoint radiofrequency ablation device to treat chronic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Safety and efficacy of the NEUROMARK® system for treating chronic rhinitis.

Methods

A prospective, single-arm, multicenter study was performed on adults with chronic rhinitis who underwent radiofrequency ablation to the posterior nasal nerves. Primary endpoints were device-related serious adverse events (SAEs) at 1 month and change from baseline in visual analog scale nasal symptom scale (VAS NSS) for rhinorrhea and nasal congestion at 3 months. Total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) and mini Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (mini RQLQ) score were also evaluated.

Results

Thirty-six participants were enrolled and completed follow-up at 1 and 3 months. Mean VAS NSS scores for rhinorrhea and nasal congestion demonstrated significant improvement at 3
