This study seeks to compare patients with vasomotor rhinitis ("perennial nonallergic rhinitis," "idiopathic rhinitis") with normal controls with respect to their nasal physiologic reactivity to cold air challenge. Ten vasomotor rhinitis (VMR) patients with nasal symptoms triggered predominantly by cold air, ten VMR patients with symptoms triggered predominantly by chemicals, and ten nonallergic, non-rhinitic control subjects will be studied.

Vasomotor Rhinitis |
Procedure: cold air |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Diagnostic, Randomized, Single Blind, Placebo Control, Crossover Assignment |
Official Title: | Nasal Physiologic Reactivity of Nonallergic Rhinitis to Cold Air Provocation |
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | December 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | June 2008 |
After initial screening and verification that subjects can cooperate with active posterior rhinomanometry, subjects will be scheduled for two 15-minute exposure sessions with either: cold-dry air, or warm-moist air. Subjects will rate symptoms (and have their nasal airway resistance measured in triplicate) prior to exposure and at 15-min. intervals post-exposure until an hour has passed.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 60 Years |
