About this trial

Chronic Nasal obstruction (CNO) is not currently measurable objectively because clinicians use validated declarative self-questionnaires whose results are linked to the level of understanding, the acute or chronic clinical situation, fatigue, psychological state and the desired gain. Using numerical simulations of the passage of air in the nasal cavities determining specific airflow parameters, the respiratory comfort of healthy subjects and the CNO of patients treated for this pathology could be explained.
