About

This is an interventional, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which patients diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis will be randomized to either intranasal stimulation, or placebo treatment with the Chordate System at two occasions.

Full description

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study in which patients diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis will receive intranasal stimulation with the Chordate System at two occasions. Objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure in reducing disease specific symptoms such as nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, nasal itching and sneezing, but also to investigate the influence on quality of life, safety and tolerability.
