Rhinomanometry / Nasal Provocation Test

This test measures how clear or obstructed the nasal passage is and thus the potential obstruction of nasal breathing. It is also used in the nasal provocation test.

Nasal Provocation Test

Particularly before a Specific Immune Therapy (SIT/hyposensitization) is initiated, a clear clinical relevance of positive results from allergy-skin-tests must be proven. For this, rhinomanometry is done before and after nasal applicaton of dissolved allergens.
