Research and implementation of reducing nasal congestion based on physical therapy
A novel self-contained nasal device was designed to relieve nasal congestion by simultaneously administering acoustic vibration,slightly oscillating expiratory pressure,and infrared radiation.The oscillating airflow produced by sound waves at a certain frequency can enhance sinus ventilation and increase nasal nitric oxide(NO)levels,relieve inflammation and promote ciliary movement.The positive pressure gas environment is more conducive to the transmission of vibration waves,and the infrared radiation causes the biological cells to produce resonance effect,thus promoting the expansion of capillaries and blood circulation.Based on the above principle,a nasal congestion relieving medical device with high efficiency,no trauma,simple and convenient operation is designed,which not only can relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion,but also can realize the treatment of inflammation.It is expected to provide a new clinical treatment option for nasal congestion patients such as rhinitis,sinusitis and the like,and explore the clinical application potential of physical therapy in relieving nasal congestion and the clinical value to be developed.
