Summary

This study is testing four medical devices (PIR, NS, NHE, NHG) in 150 adults with acute viral rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, or rhinopharyngitis (common cold). The goal is to see if they are safe and help reduce symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat. Participants use the device for up to 14 days and report any side effects and symptom changes.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that these devices safely reduce symptoms like runny nose and congestion for people with common colds.
