Background Temperature-controlled radiofrequency neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve has been shown to reduce the symptom burden of patients with chronic rhinitis. Objectives To evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of temperature-controlled radiofrequency neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve for the treatment of chronic rhinitis....

... In this randomised controlled trial (RCT), the efficacy of the VivAer® System (Aerin Medical, Mountain View, CA, USA) was superior to a sham procedure control in treating patients with NAO and NVD at 3 months posttreatment (3) . In this report, the long-term follow-up of the patients receiving active treatment in this RCT serves to complement effectiveness study data (4,5) and feasibility/pivotal study data (6)(7)(8)(9) . Long-term data is important for patients and providers when considering NAO treatment options, to compare the minimally-invasive approach against surgical outcomes, to evaluate the effect of symptom improvements on concomitant medication and nasal dilator usage, to support cost-effectiveness studies, and to confirm the safety profile of the device and procedure over time. ...
... Single contact point radiofrequency and cryoablative devices, as employed in our analysis, have been established as safe and efficacious, and we highlight here how a simple modification of the existing technique has potential to improve outcomes. 16,17 In our experience, TCRF and cryoablation generally have favorable safety profiles, and the introduction of the modified technique has not resulted in increased adverse events. In a study of a national adverse events reporting database, for the Clarifix cryoablation device, epistaxis was found to be the most common reported adverse event (9/12, 75%). ...
