The effectiveness of nonsurgical nasal devices in relieving nasal obstruction
Nasal valve devices, in particular internal nasal devices, appear to be an effective and accessible method of relieving nasal obstruction. In patients struggling with symptoms and awaiting surgery, these devices could be recommended by clinicians to offer relief in the interim. Further studies on emerging devices such as magnetic nasal strips, which theoretically could be more comfortable to wear, are needed to allow clinicians to fully counsel patients on potential options for treatment.
