Pulsed field ablation for chronic rhinitis
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses pulsed energy to target a nerve in the back of the nose to help with chronic rhinitis (long-term runny or stuffy nose). It is for people whose symptoms have not been controlled by nasal steroid sprays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old.
- You have had chronic rhinitis symptoms for more than 6 months, and nasal steroid sprays haven't helped enough.
- Your runny nose or stuffiness is moderate to severe (scored 2 or 3 for runny nose, 1-3 for congestion).
- You haven't had prior sinus or nasal surgery that changed your back nasal passages, or any previous surgery for chronic rhinitis.
- You do not have an active infection, bleeding disorder, or use blood thinners, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial compares two methods of a procedure that targets nasal nerves to reduce chronic rhinitis symptoms. It may help people whose rhinitis is not caused by allergies.
This study uses a nasal allergen provocation test to help diagnose chronic rhinitis more accurately. If you have allergic rhinitis or are a healthy volunteer, you may help researchers learn how well this test works.
This study tests a special nose dressing that slowly releases a steroid to reduce inflammation and improve healing after sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps.
This study tests a surgical procedure that cuts small nerves in the nose to relieve long-lasting, non-allergic nasal symptoms like stuffiness, runny nose, and sneezing. It may be an option for people with idiopathic rhinitis whose symptoms have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a device that uses sound vibrations and gentle air pressure to help open a stuffy nose caused by allergic rhinitis. It may be an option if your congestion does not improve with standard treatments like nasal sprays.
This trial tests a more thorough sinus surgery combined with removing lymphoid tissue in the throat to see if it helps people with nasal polyps. Researchers want to know if this approach reduces inflammation and improves symptoms.
