Lasting Relief with VivAer Stylus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

VivAer Stylus stands as the most extensively studied non-invasive solution for nasal airway obstruction (NAO), consistently delivering long-lasting, statistically significant relief. Clinical results, sustained for up to four years across multiple studies, highlight its effectiveness. Many patients have experienced easier breathing and have been able to reduce or even stop their medications following treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clinical Studies Demonstrate Long Lasting Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multiple studies have determined that VivAer Stylus is a well-tolerated procedure that reduces the symptoms of NAO. Patients experienced improvements across a broad set of quality of life (QoL) measures, including sleep, fatigue and overall well-being measurements. 1<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Improved NAO Symptoms by Treating the Septal Swell Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Treating only the septal swell body (SSB) with VivAer Stylus has been shown to significantly and durably improve symptoms of NAO and enhance health-related quality of life (QOL) in patients suffering from nasal obstruction and congestion.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Daytime Sleepiness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

VivAer Stylus has been shown to significantly reduce daytime sleepiness in patients. Using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), all patients experienced improved scores, including those with excessive daytime sleepiness. Post-treatment, ESS scores dropped by 5.8 points, bringing them below the threshold for normal daytime sleepiness, while patients with excessive daytime sleepiness saw an even greater improvement of 8.8 points. 3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AERWAY long-term data showed that VivAer Stylus delivered relief to 90% of patients suffering from NAO. These results demonstrate that VivAer Stylus offers a useful option for otolaryngologists and patients, as the evidence showed statistically significant and sustained improvement even for patients with other untreated anatomical factors like septal deviation.<\/p>\nWilliam Yao, M.D.<\/mark><\/strong>

The Reflective Total Nose Symptom Score (rTNSS) is a validated patient reported outcome used to describe symptoms of rhinitis. The assessment consists of 4 nasal symptom domains (runny nose [rhinorrhea], itchy nose, sneezing, and stuffiness [nasal congestion]). Each item is rated from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe). The 4 domains are added together to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
