Intranasal Schirmer test
The INSCH represents a straightforward and cost-effective test to assess intranasal secretion changes in allergy diagnostics. The incorporation of the INSCH in the NPT protocol could particularly enhance treatment efficacy for patients with inconclusive NPT results or it could serve as a substitute for other objective measurements such as anterior rhinomanometry or acoustic rhinometry.
