Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement of the nasal dryness symptoms | Day 0 - Day 0 immediately after first use - Day 7 | The changes between the baseline and day 7 will be assessed using the Rhinitis Sicca Symptom Score (RSSS). The RSSS is constituted by the sum of the following individual symptoms: sensation of dry nose, impairment of nasal breathing/nasal obstruction, crusting, itching/sneezing attacks, pain in the nose, anterior nasal discharge /runny nose, thick nasal discharge, desire to clear one's throat/ dry throat, impairment of smell and impairment of sleep. Patients assessed with each of these symptoms on an ordinal scale of 0-4 (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = strong, 4 = very strong). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement of the total perceive Nasal symptom relief | Day 0 - Day 0 immediately after first use - Day 7 | The changes between the baseline and day 7 in the rhinoscopy score will be assessed. The rhinoscopy score is constituted by the sum of the following symptom: dryness, atrophy, redness, oedema of the nasal mucosa and crusting. The clinician will assess each symptom on an ordinal scale of 0-4 (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = strong, 4 = very strong). |
| Incidence of Adverse Events | through study completion, an average of 7 days | Adverse events, if any, will be tabulated by the investigator |
