New nasal procedure could offer lasting relief for stuffy noses
NCT ID NCT07323888
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares standard radiofrequency ablation of the front part of the nasal turbinates with an extended version that also treats the middle and back portions. Sixty adults with chronic rhinitis who still have symptoms despite medication will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to see if the extended treatment better reduces nasal congestion and runny nose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
radiofrequency ablation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more effective, minimally invasive procedure to relieve chronic nasal congestion and runny nose for people who haven't improved with medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries typical risks of local anesthesia and minor bleeding, and it may not provide lasting relief.
