Reliability and construct validity of the Ottawa valve collapse scale when assessing external nasal valve collapse
BACKGROUND Nasal valve collapse is a common cause of nasal obstruction in otolaryngology practice. Common examination methods, such as the Cottle Maneuver and modified Cottle Maneuver are available. However, these methods are dichotomous and do not provide ordinal severity information. The Ottawa Valve Collapse Scale (OVCS) is a grading system for assessing and easily grading external nasal val...
متن کاملA new surgical method of dynamic nasal valve collapse.
OBJECTIVE To describe a technique for internal nasal valve collapse using radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy (RFITT). DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Academic research center. PATIENTS A total of 28 patients with nasal obstruction due to inspiratory nasal valve collapse were included in this study. INTERVENTION Radiofrequency-induced thermotherapy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Visual ana...
متن کاملNasal valve suspension: an improved, simplified technique for nasal valve collapse.
INTRODUCTION Nasal valve collapse is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction. The valve area is commonly weakened secondary to rhinoplasty, aging, trauma, and other causes. The complexity of nasal valve repair techniques and its variable results combined with the fact that patients with valve collapse have often had previous surgery or are of advanced age are some of the reasons that this pr...
متن کاملMuscle-building therapy in treatment of nasal valve collapse.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to describe the outcome of muscle-building therapy for nasal muscles in cases of nasal valve stenosis or collapse. The present study was performed to investigate the best way to combine transcutaneous and intranasal surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback training of muscles involved in nasal valve function with a home exercise program and electric st...
متن کاملIntranasal Z-plasty for internal nasal valve collapse.
OBJECTIVE To describe the technique of intranasal Z-plasty and early results for this minimally invasive method to repair internal nasal valve collapse. Intranasal Z-plasty has been well described for nasal valve stenosis and cleft nasal deformities but poorly described for idiopathic nasal valve collapse, the most common indication for nasal valve surgery. DESIGN A retrospective medical reco...
