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).
