Is assessment of the allergic reaction in seasonal rhinitis : acoustic rhinometry a sensitive and objective method?
Our results demonstrate acoustic rhinometry to be a sensitive and objective method of assessment of nasal obstruction. Furthermore, acoustic rhinometry and s-ECP reflect the impact of nasal steroid therapy on seasonal allergic rhinitis.
We conclude that because the difference in the VOR gain between outward and inward thrusts was slight, both methods are acceptable for clinical use.
