AI to measure nose remodeling after new breathing treatment
NCT ID NCT07574918
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the nasal airway changes after a procedure called VivAer, which uses radiofrequency energy to reshape tissue in the nose. About 30 adults aged 22 to 85 with nasal obstruction due to nasal valve problems will be treated. Researchers will take pictures of the nose before and 3 and 6 months after treatment, using AI to measure changes. Participants will also fill out surveys about their symptoms and quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 22 to 85 years old (inclusively). 2. Willing and able to provide consent. 3. Willing and able to comply with the patient-specific requirements and follow-up schedule outlined in the study protocol. 4. Has a NOSE Score of ≥ 55. 5. Has a documented diagnosis of NAO with NVC (static or dynamic) as the primary driver of NAO symptoms. 6. Has a documented positive Modified Cottle Maneuver (using curette or equivalent to perform maneuver and evaluate nasal valve function). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Has had rhinoplasty, septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction or functional endoscopic surgery (FESS) within the preceding 3 months. 2. Has uncontrolled chronic rhinitis as a contributor to nasal obstruction symptoms. 3. Has a complex nasal anatomy (e.g., anatomical deformity) or a history of significant nasal trauma that is a potential contributor to nasal obstruction symptoms. 4. Has any intranasal conditions that preclude adequate visualization of the nasal valve area. 5. Has a medical condition(s) that may impair normal healing processes. 6. Any adjunctive surgical or other nasal procedure (e.g., concha bullosa resection, inferior turbinate out fracture, septoplasty, etc.) on the same day or planned within 6 months of the study procedure. 7. Has current or recent (within 30 days prior to screening) exposure to oral systemic corticosteroids or is expected to require oral corticosteroid therapy during the course of the study. 8. Has nasal polyps, or a history of nasal polyps requiring medical or surgical treatment within the past 12 months.
