Summary

This study tested a new device that uses short electric pulses to shrink swollen tissue inside the nose, making it easier to breathe. 48 adults with long-term nasal blockage that didn't get better with medicine took part. The goal was to see if the treatment safely reduces symptoms and avoids the need for surgery.
