Overview

Systematic review demonstrates multimodal diagnostic strategies and effective surgical outcomes for nasal valve dysfunction.

Key Points

  • This review evaluates the effectiveness of various diagnostic approaches and treatment outcomes for nasal valve dysfunction.
  • Systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library from January 1990 to January 2026
  • Included randomized controlled trials, non-randomized comparative studies, and cohort studies with ≥10 patients
  • Primary outcome measured was change in NOSE score, with bias assessed using RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and QUADAS-2 tools.
  • Seventy-two studies included: 15 focusing on diagnosis and 57 on treatments.
  • Rhinomanometry and peak nasal inspiratory flow measurements were more reliable than clinical maneuvers.
  • Meta-analysis of 12 studies (n=1210 patients) found mean NOSE score reductions of 40–55 points for surgical interventions.
