Vibroacoustic Therapy With Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure in the Treatment of Nasal Congestion
China200 participantsStarted 2025-08
Plain-language summary
This is a prospective study. It enrolls subjects with allergic rhinitis, with or without asthma, who have nasal congestion as the main symptom and meet the inclusion criteria, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acoustic vibration combined with an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device in the treatment of patients with nasal congestion. On the premise that subjects agree to use basic medications (antihistamines, mometasone furoate nasal spray, ICS-LABA), they are instructed to use the acoustic vibration therapy device and the oscillating positive expiratory pressure therapy device respectively, 3 times a day for 3 minutes each time. Indicators related to nasal congestion will be measured immediately after a single use, as well as at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks of use, so as to monitor the improvement of nasal ventilation and accompanying symptoms in the subjects.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF)
Timeframe: These indicators are measured at baseline, immediately after a single use, and at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks of use.
