Devices for therapeutic nasal nerve modulation and related methods and systems

摘要

Devices for therapeutic nasal nerve modulation and related systems and methods are disclosed herein. A system for therapeutic neuromodulation in the nasal region configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology may include, for example, a shaft and a therapeutic element at a distal portion of the shaft. The shaft may have a distal portion disposed in the cavity at a target site below the patient's butterfly palate. The therapeutic element may include an energy delivery element configured to therapeutically modulate postnodal parasympathetic nerves in the micropores of the human patient's palate for the treatment of rhinitis or other symptoms. In other embodiments, the therapeutic element is configured to therapeutically adjust nerves that innervate the frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, sphenoid sinus, and maxillary sinus for the treatment of chronic sinusitis. Can be done.
