Vibration therapy for nasal congestion
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis (with or without asthma).
- You have had noticeable nasal congestion for at least a week that does not get better with nasal sprays or other medicines.
- You are willing to use a device that sends sound vibrations and gentle air pressure into your nose for 3 minutes, 3 times a day.
- You must be able to report your symptoms and attend follow-up visits at 2, 4, and 8 weeks.
- You do not have a blocked nose due to a structural problem (like a deviated septum or polyps), unstable asthma, or other serious health issues.

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 trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.
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 trial compares different vibratory devices that help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs. It may help by showing which device works best and is safest for people who need airway clearance therapy.
This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
This trial tests a nasal spray called VVN432 in healthy volunteers and people with chronic sinusitis. It checks if the spray is safe and how the body processes it.
