    Unmet need

    Rhinitis is a common condition. Although medication use improves symptoms in most people, some people continue to have rhinitis that is refractory to medical treatment and surgery may be considered. Surgery needs to be done in an operating room under general anaesthesia. In people whose symptoms do not respond to the pharmacological treatments, there is a need for alternative minimally invasive procedures that can be done in an outpatient setting under local anaesthesia.
