Brief Summary

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

This study aims to test the safety and effectiveness of the SinuSonic device on adults with moderate to severe nasal congestion. SinuSonic is a medical device that utilizes sound and pressure combined with normal breathing to relieve nasal congestion. This device is held over the nose for 3 minutes. This study will use patient responses to measure how effective SinuSonic devices are in treating these moderate to severe congestion in adults. The study will consist of 40 subjects at the Medical University of South Carolina and will take place over the course of 4 to 6 weeks starting with a baseline assessment.
