Editorial: The Burden of Nasal Congestion: Short- and Long-Term Efficacy of Medical Device-Based Approaches as an Adjuvant Therapy Targeting Symptoms

In this context, the role of medical devices is increasing as an alternative or a co-adjuvant therapy for the treatment of symptoms associated with rhinologic diseases, particularly due to their safety profile and the lack of the side effects generally related to the standard therapies. The studies presented in this thematic issue are providing an insight on the efficacy of an osmotically acting medical device, Narivent®, both in a short- and a long-term treatment, in reducing nasal congestion and other symptoms in patients with various rhinopathies, thanks to its lubricant, antioedematous and anti-inflammatory actions.
