Description
Summary:In particular, efficacy, unimpeded nasal breathing, low visibility, and comfortableness are important for patient compliance to this strategy in the management of AR. [...]this randomized clinical trial (RCT) sought to investigate the efficacy, safety, and usability of a new nasal filter, Rhinix (Rhinix ApS, Aarhus, Denmark), which was constructed to ensure comfort and minimize airway resistance and visibility when in use. [...]the device was evaluated on usability and tolerance, and measurements of oral fraction of exhaled nitric oxide and spirometry served as safety measures.
