Benefits of the Use of Botox in the Treatment of Empty Nose Syndrome Syndrome

Summary

Empty Nose Syndrome patients suffer from disabling physical symptoms and considerable distress. To date there is no definitive cure for these symptoms. Established treatment modalities include saline irrigation, surgical implantation of materials or simply use of cotton wads/ silicon cones to simulate the resistive action to airflow of the resected turbinates. This study will research the effectiveness of a new treatment modality in the treatment of Empty Nose Syndrome. This novel treatment method involves the use of botulinum toxin type A (Botox).
