Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Improvement in Nasal Obstructive Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Scores [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post study procedure]
Mean change in NOSE score from Baseline to 24 months post study procedure. Scores may range from the best score of 0, meaning no nasal obstructive symptoms to the worst score of 100, meaning severe nasal obstructive symptoms.
- Improvement in symptoms as documented by the subject in the Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaire. [3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post study procedure]
Subject self reported study-specific Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaire - The QOL questionnaire will be used to gain better understanding of the impact of nasal obstruction on the subject's daily activities, feelings, symptoms and medication use. Symptoms will be recorded on a scale of 0, No problem to 5, Problem as bad as it could be. A satisfaction with outcome of Vivaer treatment will be asked in one question on a scale where 1=symptoms have no effect on daily activity to 10=symptoms completely effect daily activity. The QOL will be completed by the subject at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post study procedure.
Other Outcome Measures
- Subject-reported Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain scores in relation to the area treated by the study procedure [3 months post study procedure]
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain scores will be evaluated at 3 months post study procedure. VAS scores range from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
- Subject reported medication use for nasal obstruction symptoms [3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post study procedure]
Evaluate change in medication used for nasal obstruction symptoms from Baseline to follow up timepoints post study procedure of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months
- Subject reported type and frequency of adverse events [3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post study procedure]
Evaluate profile by characterizing the type and frequency of adverse events reported at or following the study procedure an throughout the follow up period
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age 18 or older
-
Willing and able to provide informed consent
-
Willing and able to comply with the study protocol
-
Seeking treatment for nasal obstruction
-
NOSE score of ≥ 60 at Baseline
-
Nasal valve is a primary or significant contributor to the subject's nasal obstruction as determined by the study investigator (based on clinical presentation, physical examination, nasal endoscopy, etc.) and the subject has a positive response to any of the following temporary measures (based on patient history or office exam):
-
Use of external nasal dilator strips (e.g., Breathe Right Strips)
-
Q-Tip test (manual intranasal lateralization)
-
Use of nasal stents

Cottle Maneuver (manual lateral retraction of the cheek)
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Prior surgical treatment of the nasal valve
-
Rhinoplasty, septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction or other surgical nasal procedures within the past three (3) months
-
Anatomy that requires an adjunctive surgical nasal procedure on the same day or 3 months after the Vivaer procedure
-
Medical conditions which in the opinion of the treating physician would predispose the subject to poor wound healing or increased surgical risk.
