- Summary: Research conducted on chronic rhinitis treatment using temperature-controlled radiofrequency neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve area demonstrated that it was effective and safe. This minimally invasive in-office treatment for allergic and nonallergic chronic rhinitis resulted in improvement in symptoms without the side effects of pharmacological therapies that include intranasal antihistamines, corticosteroids, anticholinergic sprays, oral antihistamines, and immunotherapy.
