Nerve surgery for non-allergic rhinitis
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a BMI between 19 and 24 (within a healthy weight range).
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic rhinitis (non-allergic nasal symptoms for at least a year).
- Your allergy tests (skin or blood) came back negative.
- You have no nasal polyps, sinusitis, tumors, or other nasal conditions that could explain your symptoms.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have uncontrolled asthma or other serious illnesses.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether removing enlarged adenoids (small lymph tissue in the nose/throat) can help children with allergic rhinitis (allergy-caused runny nose, sneezing, and congestion) feel better and reduce their allergy markers. Researchers will track symptom improvement and measure IgE levels (a protein related to allergies) before and after surgery.
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.
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 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.
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 if acupuncture on a nerve in the head (sphenopalatine ganglion) can help reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) like sneezing and runny nose.
