OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of topical nitroglycerin ointment in patients diagnosed with empty nose syndrome (ENS). METHODS: ENS was diagnosed based on clinical ...
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a chronic sinonasal condition that typically results from overly aggressive turbinate reduction. It is characterized by nasal dryness, crusting, burning sensation, and a paradoxical perceptio...
The Spanish Association of Empty Nose Syndrome (AESNV) shares an update on the process initiated in December 2025 for the review of the coding of Empty Nose Syndrome (SNV) in the RePER.
OBJECTIVE: Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is a rare and paradoxical complication often associated with aggressive turbinate reductions. Previous computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling has indicated that distorted nasal ai...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the 3-year outcomes of submucous inferior turbinectomy combined with posterior nasal neurectomy (PNN) in patients with allergic rhinitis and explore empty nose syndrome (ENS)-relat...
It is crucial to identify potential ENS patient subgroups based on the underlying injury type driving symptoms. Such stratification would guide the selection of the most appropriate therapy
Patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS) present heterogeneous symptom patterns and varied surgical outcomes. This study aimed to stratify patients with ENS based on preoperative 25-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-25) s...
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a debilitating, iatrogenic condition caused by a previous inferior turbinectomy; the symptoms of which include subjective feelings of suffocation despite an objectively patent nasal passage. ...
Abnormal nasal mucosal function has been frequently implicated in the symptomatology of empty nose syndrome (ENS), yet with limited evidence. This prospective pilot study aims to compare nasal mucosal sensitivity to air-...
To validate a French version of the Empty Nose Syndrome 6-Item Questionnaire (Fr-ENS6Q). Methods: Thirty-three patients with a diagnosis of empty nose syndrome (ENS) and 50 healthy individuals completed the Fr-ENS6Q and ...
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy was initiated and found to be effective. CPAP therapy may be beneficial when SAS complicates ENS, even with a capacious nasal airway.
This study aimed to evaluate the presence of Serpentine Signs on computed tomography (CT) images and its impact on the clinical symptoms in patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS). METHODS: A retrospective study analysed...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Empty nose syndrome (ENS) can occur as a consequence of aggressive turbinate surgery. However, some patients with similar surgical histories do not develop ENS, suggesting that host-related fac...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a chronic and debilitating condition characterized by atrophic nasal mucosa and impaired mucosal function, resulting in persistent nasal discomfort and breathing di...
ENS disrupts multiple interlinked systems — nasal mechanics and sensation, lung reflexes, CO? balance, baroreflex function, cardiac rhythm and higher brain regulation — producing a predictable physiological cascade
Stanford University researchers are conducting a groundbreaking clinical trial investigating acoustic resonance therapy (ART) for ENS

Turbinate Volume May Be Large, but Functionally Decreased. The health of the outer mucosa of the turbinates is crucial.
