“…The amount of turbulence depends not only on the patency of the nasal airway but also on the shape of the nasal cavity. As a consequence, a low patency may be accompanied by a high as well as a low resistance, depending on the presence or absence of irregularities in the shape of the nasal cavity 21 …”

“…11,14,15 One of them demonstrated a correlation between the results from both methods in patients with a subjectively blocked nose, 15 which is in line with methodologic considerations. 21 Twenty-one studies addressed the possible correlation between the results of objective measurements and patency symptoms. Only 16 of them had a level II-a or II-b of evidence.…”

The correlation between the outcomes found with rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry and an individual's subjective sensation of nasal patency remains uncertain. Based on this review, it seems that the chance of a correlation is greater when each nasal passage is assessed individually and when obstructive symptoms are present. There still seems to be only a limited argument for the use of rhinomanometry or acoustic rhinometry in routine rhinologic practice or for quantifying surgical results.

“…allergen (Taylor & Shivalkar, 1971;Britton et Many investigators have relied on subjective Connell, 1979 (Todd et al, 1975; nasal provocation and measurements of nasal Wong et al, 1981), whilst others have used patency (Kern, 1981;Clement, 1984) (Graamans, 1981;Wihl, 1983) making comparisons of the results obtained from different laboratories difficult. Furthermore, the repeatability and reproducibility of these methods has rarely been the subject of detailed study.…”

EC11 Changes in nasal airways resistance (NAR) following the topical application of histamine and allergen solutions were measured by passive anterior rhinomanometry. 2 The repeatability of five consecutive measurements of resting NAR prior to provocation with histamine or allergen (expressed as the coefficient of variation) was 32.8% and following instillation of saline control solution 37.2%. 3 The repeatability of five consecutive measurements of NAR during the nasal obstruction produced by histamine and allergen was similar to that recorded prior to provocation; the coefficients of variation (median values) being 39.6% and 33.1% respectively. The degree of variability was not related to the dose of agonist or the degree of nasal obstruction. 4 The reproducibility of histamine or allergen induced changes in NAR on four separate weekly occasions showed no significant intra-subject differences. 5 The effects of sodium cromoglycate (SCG), clemastine and ketotifen administered to the nasal mucosa 30 min before provocation with histamine and allergen were compared in a random order, double-blind, placebo controlled study. 6 Clemastine and SCG, but not ketotifen, significantly inhibited the nasal response to increasing concentrations of histamine. None of the drugs administered in the concentrations used in this study significantly inhibited the nasal response to allergen.

“…Finally, although it has been shown that there is little difference in minimum cross-sectional area between ethnicities, a variation in internal anatomy between races has been demonstrated 16 . Specifically, there is a difference in the position of the minimum cross-sectional area 22 . As the nasal dilator strip provides a localised dilating effect, the relative positioning of the minimum cross-sectional area between races may cause dilator strips to miss areas of optimal effect in Asian subjects.…”

“…19 As the Caucasian leptorrhine nose has an inter-alar angle approximately 15°s maller than the mesorrhine Asian nose, 20 the nasal dilator strip will subsequently have a greater angular deformation when affixed to the narrower Caucasian nose. 22 As the nasal dilator strip provides a localised dilating effect, the relative positioning of the minimum cross-sectional area between races may cause dilator strips to miss areas of optimal effect in Asian subjects. Secondly, the Asian subject typically exhibits a thicker skin envelope than the Caucasian subject.…”
