Breaking the spray cycle: new study tackles nasal decongestant addiction
NCT ID NCT04898764
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at people who have used nasal decongestant sprays for a long time, leading to a condition called rhinitis medicamentosa where the nose gets more blocked as the spray wears off. Researchers tested a program to help them stop using the spray, using a nasal steroid and motivational interviews. The goal was to see if participants could quit the decongestant for at least a week and stay off it long-term.
