The Effect of Pseudoephedrine on Rhinitis and Sleep

Summary

The hypothesis is that pseudoephedrine, a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a decongestant, will decrease nasal congestion leading to increased patency of the nose and a decrease in nighttime sleep fragmentation in individuals with year round perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). This decrease in sleep fragmentation will reduce daytime somnolence and fatigue.
