Chronic rhinitis refers to long-lasting inflammation of the nasal lining, leading to symptoms such as:
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.
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.
ClariFix® is most often recommended when medications such as nasal sprays or antihistamines have not provided sufficient relief.
Nasal nerves help regulate the nasal activity
Out-of-balance nasal nerves may send too many signals contributing to congestion and runny nose symptoms
Nerve signals are interrupted to reduce congestion and runny nose symptoms
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.
Many patients begin to notice improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks. Clinical studies have shown symptom improvement in some patients.
Individual results can vary, and your provider will help determine if this treatment is right for your specific condition.
