Nasal patency varies owing to the effects of humidity, temperature, and exercise. In addition, periodic cycles of congestion and decongestion that alternate between the right and the left side of the nose, which are termed the "nasal cycle," have been observed. The physiologic mechanisms underlying this cycle are not clear. Sympathetic nerves that supply the nose are regulated by the hypothalamus and the vasomotor areas of the brainstem. It is possible that the nasal cycle could be involved in protection against respiratory infection or allergies. Conventional methods of studying the nasal cycle, including rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry, impose limitations on the location and timing of evaluation. We studied the nasal cycle using a new portable device for relatively long-term rhinoflowmetry.
