What Is Chronic Rhinitis?

Does it feel like your nose runs or feels stuffed up constantly? Or do you feel that you need to blow your nose all the time?

This is because the nasal passages are inflamed, irritated, and swollen.

What Causes Chronic Rhinitis?

For many patients, chronic rhinitis may be caused by abnormal or overactive posterior nasal nerves in the nose. Those nerve signals can cause mucus creation to go into overdrive, creating a near-constant runny, stuffy nose, and/or post-nasal drip.

While not life-threatening, chronic rhinitis can seriously impact your quality of life. Sufferers feel dependent on medications that often only deliver temporary relief1, or they rely on tissues or sprays to keep up with a constant runny and/or stuffy nose. Worst of all, many people feel annoyance or embarrassment in public because of their symptoms, preventing them from living life to the fullest.

How Can Neuromark Help?

Neuromark is a Gentle Procedure for Chronic Rhinitis

This non-invasive system will gently deliver low-power radiofrequency (RF) energy to the specific overactive posterior nasal nerves, the source of chronic rhinitis.

The NEUROMARK device disrupts the nerves and may reduce core symptoms.

The procedure has been well tolerated using local anesthetic.3

What to Expect with Your Neuromark Experience

1
Prior to Your Procedure

Plan for about a 1-hour appointment. Make sure to discuss with your physician any changes to your medical history and/or medications you are currently taking.

The NEUROMARK procedure is typically performed in your doctor’s office using only topical and/or local anesthetic. The NEUROMARK device and an endoscope are placed in the back of your nose, where the target nerves are located. The therapy itself takes only a few minutes. You may feel pressure and little to no discomfort during the procedure.3

What to Expect After Your Procedure

Typically, with this type of procedure, there is no downtime, and you will be able to return to your regular day. It may take up to four weeks before any changes in your symptoms become apparent.*

Follow-Up

Your physician will speak to you regarding any follow-up appointments needed. Always reach out to your physician with any questions or concerns regarding this procedure.
