If you have rhinitis symptoms that do not go away, you are not alone. 87 million Americans suffer from chronic rhinitis, and more than half of these patients have persistent symptoms after seeking medical treatment. ClariFix is a newer treatment option that may make a difference for patients with chronic rhinitis by cooling down specific nerves that cause nasal inflammation and excessive mucus production.
Symptoms of Chronic Rhinitis
If you are dealing with congestion, a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing and postnasal drip that last longer than 12 weeks, you may have chronic rhinitis.
How ClariFix Helps with Chronic Rhinitis
Clarifax uses a process called cryotherapy to apply targeted freezing to overactive nerves in the nose. Treatment typically takes around 30 to 45 seconds on each side of the nose. Your provider will use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort as the ClariFix device is placed in the back of your nose.
Results with ClariFix
Most patients notice an improvement in their symptoms within 30 days of treatment. In a clinical study, patients reported a significant decrease in nasal congestion and runny nose; four out of five patients reported long-lasting symptom relief.
