Chronic rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal lining, causing symptoms like excessive mucus production (runny nose), congestion, itching, and sneezing. It may be allergic, non-allergic, or a combination of both.

How is the ClariFix Procedure Performed?
Dr. Brodner conducts the ClariFix cryotherapy right here in our office. First, a local or topical anesthetic is applied to the back of your nose. Using an endoscope for guidance, the ClariFix device is positioned to the inflamed area where the freezing treatment interrupts the overactive nerves causing your symptoms. The process takes only a few minutes and may be repeated on the other side if needed.
Is the ClariFix Treatment Painful?
Thanks to the anesthetic, most patients feel only slight pressure and a cooling sensation, sometimes near the molars. Discomfort is minimal and generally well tolerated.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
ClariFix is typically a single-treatment procedure.
Is ClariFix Safe?
The FDA has cleared ClariFix for chronic rhinitis. Side effects like temporary increased congestion or localized discomfort usually resolve quickly.
Will I Need Nasal Medications Afterward?
Many patients experience significant symptom reduction, lessening or eliminating the need for nasal sprays or other medications. Individual results vary.
What Results Can I Expect?
Clinical studies show that 4 out of 5 patients report durable relief within 2 to 6 weeks post-treatment. By targeting nasal nerves responsible for secretions, ClariFix reduces runny nose and congestion symptoms effectively.
How Does ClariFix Work?
Symptoms like runny nose and postnasal drip stem from overactive nerves sending excessive signals. ClariFix uses cold therapy to interrupt these signals, easing your symptoms.
When Will I Notice Improvement?
Most patients see improvement between 2 and 6 weeks after treatment.
What Results Should I Expect?
A clinical trial found that 80% of patients enjoyed lasting relief from runny nose and congestion.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Expect to spend about an hour at our office.
What Sensations Occur During Treatment?
You may feel slight pressure, cooling in the nose or near molars, or mild discomfort.
What is Recovery Like?
Most return to normal activities the same day. Temporary congestion or discomfort may occur.
What Side Effects Are Possible?
Common side effects include temporary congestion, mild pain, headache, facial discomfort, bleeding, dry nose, or ear blockage, typically resolving by day 90.
Should I Continue Medications After Treatment?
Dr. Brodner will tailor your medication plan based on your individual needs.
