The Effect of Nasal Hair on Nasal Obstruction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Nasal Obstruction

In brief

Nasal obstruction is a common complaint prompting presentation to an otolaryngologist. Many studies have been performed quantifying and describing the impact of a number of factors on symptoms of nasal obstruction, including anatomical, neoplastic, infectious, and inflammatory causes. Despite this scrutiny, no attention has been paid to the nasal vibrissae as a potential anatomical contributor to nasal obstruction. The proposed study intends to elucidate that contribution, if any exists.
