New hope for allergy sufferers: three techniques battle stubborn symptoms
NCT ID NCT06887842
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 84 people with severe allergic rhinitis (constant sneezing, runny nose, itching, stuffiness) that didn't improve with usual treatments. Researchers compared three procedures that target the nerve in the nose: surgical cutting, radiofrequency, and surface coblation. The goal was to see which method best reduces symptoms and improves quality of life, while also checking for side effects like bleeding or crusting.
