Patient Profile
A 47-year-old patient presented to Enticare with a 6-year history of chronic nasal congestion, constant runny nose, and postnasal drip. Allergy testing was negative, and multiple nasal sprays provided minimal relief.
Diagnosis
The ENT specialist diagnosed vasomotor rhinitis after ruling out allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis through imaging and clinical evaluation.
Treatment Plan
The patient underwent an in-office posterior nasal nerve cryotherapy (ClariFix) procedure to reduce abnormal nerve signaling in the nasal cavity.
Results
-
Significant reduction in nasal congestion within 3 weeks
-
Marked decrease in postnasal drip
-
Improved sleep quality and daily comfort
-
No need for daily nasal sprays
Conclusion
Minimally invasive vasomotor rhinitis surgery provided long-term symptom control and improved quality of life when conservative treatments failed.
