2. Suffocation.
3. The feeling that the nose is too open.
4. Nasal crusts.
5. Burning sensation in the nose.
6. Dry nose.
Computational aerodynamics. A method that can be used to simulate the speed of air flows, changes in humidity and temperature. It clearly defines chaotic changes in the distribution of air flow and a decrease in nasal resistance, which is important in the pathophysiology of the occurrence of SPN.
Rhinomanometry. More accessible, but less clear. It is an addition to other methods, and also indicates a decrease in normal nasal resistance and determines nasal patency.
Biopsy of the nasal mucosa. During work, patients with SPN exhibit squamous metaplasia of the nasal mucosa, which is histologically determined by epithelial abnormalities, atrophy of cilia and mucous glands, and a decrease in the number of goblet cells.
The cotton wool test. Cotton wool soaked in saline solution is inserted into the patient's nasal cavity for 30 minutes. If the patient's breathing improves during the test and the severity of the symptoms decreases, the test is considered positive.
The Schirmer test. The Schirmer nasal test is the gold standard for determining nasal secretion using filter paper, which is installed on both sides of the nasal septum for 10 minutes, which determines moisture content in millimeters.
Saccharine test. It is well-known for studies of mucociliary clearance indicators. Normally, up to 20 minutes after placing saccharin at the lower nasal concha, the patient should taste sweet in his mouth.
Computed tomography. Signs of SPN on CT are protrusion of the nasal walls with expansion of the nasal space and thickening of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses.
Treatment.
Treatment of SPN is difficult. Today, there is no treatment method to completely rid the patient of this condition. There are a number of measures that can alleviate the symptoms.
The conservative treatment of SPN is based on constant moistening of the nasal mucosa using various means.
Means for moistening the nasal mucosa during sleep disorders.
1. Salt sprays.
2. Salt sprays with or without steroids.
3. Oils (rosehip, sea buckthorn).
4. Ointments.
5. Gels.
Patients' attention is paid to the constant hygiene of the nasal cavity. Very often, it is difficult for patients to devote enough time daily to cleaning the nose and moisturizing procedures. There are a number of rules for conservative nasal care to alleviate the symptoms of SPN.
