Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted on 355 subjects to evaluate the prevalence of mucosal contact between nasal turbinates and the septum, finding that such contact occurs in 49.3% of patients, significantly higher than the previously reported 4%.
- - Of those with mucosal contact, 31.8% had a history of migraines, with the superior turbinate showing the strongest association (65.3% reporting migraines) compared to the middle (50%) and inferior turbinate (21.1%).
- - Multivariate analysis confirmed that contact with the superior and middle turbinates was significantly linked to migraines, indicating that addressing mucosal contact at these sites may be critical for migraine management.
Article Synopsis
- * Major nosebleeds that need treatment can occur around 20 days after the PNN ablation procedure.
- * The risk of significant bleeding is consistent across different methods and devices used for the ablation.

Am J Otolaryngol
December 2014
Objective: To map different areas of pain sensitivity and to determine the existence and/or pattern of referred pain from upon stimulating the sinonasal cavity.
Study Design: Experimental human study.
Methods: Mechanical and electrical stimulations to various anatomical structures and areas of the nasal and sinus cavities were conducted on nine volunteers.
