Efficacy of Odiosoft-Rhino in assessment of nasal obstruction: A comparative study with acoustic rhinometry after treatment with budesonide nasal spray in patients with perennial allergic rhinitis

Abstract

Background: Odiosoft-Rhino (OR) is new software and equipment that can be used to measure changes in nasal obstruction after intranasal steroid treatment. OR is a promising method for measuring the degree of nasal obstruction. OR can precisely analyze nasal sound spectra in decibels, which is generated by nasal airflow. We studied the reliability of OR for assessing declining nasal obstruction after budesonide nasal spray treatment.
