Vibroacoustic Therapy With Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure in the Treatment of Nasal Congestion

Other illness

• Exclusion criteria identified by pre-examination with nasal endoscopy include: definite structural/mechanical obstruction (moderate-to-severe nasal septum deviation, moderate-to-severe nasal valve collapse, grade 3-4 nasal polyps, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy that may reduce decongestion reversibility); A history of severe epistaxis within 3 months, or use of anticoagulants; Complicated with unstable asthma; Patients currently receiving special treatment regimens, including biologic therapy and dust mite desensitization therapy; Complicated with major diseases of the respiratory or cardiovascular system: such as moderate-to-severe COPD, coronary heart disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary infection, or respiratory tract infection; Suffering from malignant tumors or having a history of malignant tumors (except for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma in situ that have been completely resected with no evidence of recurrence); Having undergone major surgery within 3 months before randomization, or planning to undergo major surgery during the study period; Suffering from severe concomitant diseases or other conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, make the patient unsuitable for participation in this trial.
