Brief summary
To characterize the performance of the nasal dilator strip in lowering nasal resistance during sleep, promoting nasal route breathing and reducing the signs and symptoms of sleep disordered breathing in a group of chronic nocturnal nasal congestion sufferers who report trouble with their sleep.
Detailed description
This study was a baseline-controlled study. This study consisted of three phases: Baseline phase, 28 days Active phase (1 month in home treatment usage period with sleep laboratory nights after 7 (Night 8) and 28 days (Night 29) of treatment) followed by a two-night cross-over Nasal resistance phase. Screened participants were evaluated for sleep disordered breathing and PSG variables with sleep laboratory nights at Baseline, after 7 and 28 days of in house use of nasal dilator strip (Night 8 and 29 of Active phase), and at Day 30 and 31 (Night 30 and 31 of Nasal resistance phase). Participants wore the Nasal dilator strip during Active phase. Participants then entered the Nasal resistance phase of the study, which consisted of two sleep laboratory nights at Day 30 and 31 (Night 30 and 31) where they were randomized to receive a sequence of either 'strip'/' no strip' or 'no strip'/'strip as per there randomization schedule.

Sleep Efficiency (SE) : Baseline, Active and Nasal Resistance Phase
Sleep efficiency \[SE, a polysomnography (PSG)\] was measured as the percentage of total time in bed spent in sleep. It was calculated as the sum of Stage N1, Stage N2, Stage N3, and REM sleep, divided by the total time in bed and multiplied by 100. SE gives an overall sense of how well the participant slept and was measured for all participants with strip on Day 1 (Visit 2) in baseline phase, Day 8 (Visit 3) and Day 29 (Visit 4) in active phase, and in participants with and without strip on Day 30 (Visit 5) and Day 31 (Visit 6) cumulatively, in nasal resistance phase.

Total Epworth Sleepiness Scale Score (ESS) : Active Phase
Participants answered the following question How likely are you to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations, in contrast to feeling just tired? 1. Sitting and reading, 2. Watching TV, 3. Sitting, inactive in a public place (e.g. a theatre or a meeting), 4. As a passenger in a car for an hour without a break, 5. Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit, 6. Sitting and talking to someone, 7. Sitting quietly after a lunch without alcohol, and 8. In a car, while stopped for a few minutes in the traffic. Use the following scale to choose the most appropriate number for each situation: 0 = would never doze, 1 = slight chance of dozing, 2 = moderate chance of dozing, and 3 = high chance of dozing. Total ESS was calculated as the sum of all the individual scores observed for the above mentioned situations. The possible range for total ESS was 0-24. A lower total ESS indicates better sleep.

Total Score of Composite Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) : Active Phase
The FOSQ was 30-item, validated psychometric instrument that assessed the impact of disorders of excessive sleepiness on functional outcomes relevant to daily behaviors and quality of life (QoL). The responses to the questionnaire were grouped according to five factors for analysis: 1) Activity Level, 2) Vigilance, 3) Intimacy and Sexual Relationships, 4) General Productivity and 5) Social Outcome. Participant used a scale of 0 to 4 to score each question of FOSQ which then grouped in above factors (where 0= I don't do this activity for other reasons, 1= Yes, extreme difficulty, 2= Yes, moderate difficulty, 3= Yes, a little difficulty, and 4= No difficulty). Total score of composite FOSQ was the sum of scores obtained on all 30 questions of the questionnaire. The possible range for the total score of composite FOSQ was from 0-120. A higher total score of composite FOSQ indicates better QoL of the participant.
