If you’ve been living with a persistent runny nose, postnasal drip, or nasal congestion that doesn’t seem to improve with medications, you might be dealing with chronic rhinitis. At Accent Sinus Center, we offer ClariFix® Cryotherapy, an in-office treatment that uses FDA-cleared technology to target nerves involved in chronic rhinitis. This treatment may help reduce symptoms such as a runny nose and nasal congestion.
ClariFix® Treatment for Chronic Rhinitis in South Jersey
Manage Symptoms of a Runny or Congested Nose
What Is Chronic Rhinitis?
Chronic rhinitis refers to long-lasting inflammation of the nasal lining, leading to symptoms such as:
- Frequent runny nose
- Postnasal drip
- Congestion
- Throat clearing
- Sneezing or itching
It can be allergic or non-allergic in nature. In many cases, overactive nerves in the nasal lining cause the glands to produce excessive mucus—leading to disruptive daily symptoms.
How ClariFix® Works
ClariFix® uses targeted cryotherapy to gently cool the overactive nerves in the back of the nasal passages. By calming the nerve signals that trigger excess mucus and congestion, the procedure can help reduce symptoms at their source.
- Performed in-office in less than 30 minutes
- Minimally invasive and typically well-tolerated
- Many patients return to their usual routine relatively quickly, though recovery varies
- No general anesthesia or incisions needed
ClariFix® is most often recommended when medications such as nasal sprays or antihistamines have not provided sufficient relief.
1. Normal Nasal Cavity
Nasal nerves help regulate the nasal activity
2. Chronic Rhinitis
Out-of-balance nasal nerves may send too many signals contributing to congestion and runny nose symptoms
3. ClariFix® Cryotherapy
Nerve signals are interrupted to reduce congestion and runny nose symptoms
What to Expect During Treatment
During your visit, a local anesthetic is used to numb the nasal tissue. A small device is then inserted through the nostril to deliver a brief, targeted cooling therapy to the inflamed area. You may feel a slight pressure or cooling sensation during the procedure.
After treatment, some patients experience mild congestion or discomfort for a few days, which typically resolves on its own.
Results and Follow-Up
Patients may begin to notice improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks, although the timing and degree of improvement vary. Clinical studies have reported symptom improvement following ClariFix® Cryotherapy.
Individual results vary, and your provider will help determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific condition.
Is ClariFix® Safe?
ClariFix® is FDA-cleared and supported by clinical research for the treatment of chronic rhinitis. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including:
- Temporary nasal discomfort
- Congestion or swelling
- Mild headache or post-procedure fatigue
These effects are usually short-lived and resolve without additional intervention. Your ENT specialist will review all potential risks and benefits during your consultation.
