Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Longitudinal, observational study to assess the short-term (test re-test) and mid-term (within the span of 28 days) repeatability of active anterior rhinomanometry (AAR) measures on 4 parallel groups of children with different rhinitis phenotypes, and 1 group of control (healthy) children.

Secondary objectives are: i) assessing of association between AAR, exhaled FeNO (eFeNO) and nasal FeNO (nFeNO); ii) assessing association between objective measurements (AAR, eFeNO and nFeNO) and subjective measurements (Total 5 Symptom score, T5SS).

The study is intended to obtain useful information for improving rhinitis management.
