“…Although external and internal nasal dilators seem noninvasive and easy to use, in a 6-month follow-up study, patient compliance with internal nasal dilators was only 60%. 8 This compliance rate decreased to 21% in a 5-year follow-up study. 23 Additionally, there are a number of other disadvantages to the use of nasal dilators, including allergic reactions and foreign body sensation.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…15 Compliance with nasal dilators was approximately 60% at 6 months in Löth's study driven by a reported lack of benefit, poor fit, or discomfort. 23 At 5 years, compliance in the same patient population dropped to 21%. 24 These devices are often sold in a few specific sizes which may contribute to the high incidence of discomfort and variable outcomes among various nasofacial profiles.…”

“…An internal nasal dilator significantly reduced snoring in men [23] and was as effective as a local decongestant in healthy subjects [24]. An external nasal dilator improved subjective nasal breathing in 24 patients with 'pregnancy-related nocturnal nasal congestion' [25].…”
