Key Points

This research compares the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation and laser neurolysis for chronic rhinitis treatment. It aims to determine which method provides better symptom relief.
Compared radiofrequency ablation and CO₂ laser neurolysis in chronic rhinitis patients
Assessed symptom improvement for rhinorrhea and nasal itching through follow-up evaluations
Evaluated treatment effectiveness based on response to medication
Both treatments were effective for chronic rhinitis resistant to medication
Laser neurolysis provided superior symptomatic relief compared to radiofrequency ablation
Patients reported greater improvements in rhinorrhea and nasal itching with laser neurolysis

Abstract

Both RAPN and RPN3 are effective in treating chronic rhinitis unresponsive to medication. The addition of CO₂ laser posterior nasal nerve neurolysis (RPN3) provides superior symptomatic relief, particularly for rhinorrhea and nasal itching.
