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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether removing the adenoids (adenoidectomy) helps reduce allergy symptoms and allergy-related blood markers in children with allergic rhinitis. It will compare kids who get the surgery with those who don't, to see if the surgery improves their quality of life.
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 tests whether a specific type of acupuncture can reduce allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. It may offer an alternative for people whose symptoms are not well controlled by standard treatments.
This study compares two combination treatments for moderate to severe allergic rhinitis (hay fever). One group uses a corticosteroid nasal spray plus an antihistamine nasal spray, and the other uses the same spray plus an oral antihistamine pill. The goal is to see which combination better improves symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and congestion.
