Three-Year Outcomes After Temperature-Controlled Radiofrequency Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment of nasal valve collapse (NVC) in patients with nasal airway obstruction (NAO).

Study design

This is an extended follow-up from a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study. The initial study included participants from 12 sites across the United States who were followed for 24 months and additionally agreed to participate in the extended 36-month follow-up.

Setting

Procedure was performed in-office with an in-person follow-up at 3 months and subsequent follow-up assessment remotely.

Methods

Participants received TCRF treatment of only the nasal valve and participated in the extended 36-month follow-up. The effect of TCRF treatment was determined
