Likely a good fit

Patients with acute viral rhinitis, acute rhinosinusitis, or viral rhinopharyngitis presenting within 72 hours of onset and who are affiliated with the French Social Security system, able to consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe concurrent illnesses, chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinosinusitis, or those with hypersensitivity to any device components may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This post-marketing study collects real-world clinical data on four medical devices used to treat acute viral rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and rhinopharyngitis. It aims to confirm tolerability, safety, and efficacy while evaluating the benefit/risk balance in typical clinical settings. Eligible participants are adults and networked patients who meet the criteria and consent to data collection. The trial is conducted at a clinical investigation platform in Clermont-Ferrand, France, under the SI-RIPH VRB registration and French Social Security affiliation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could support continued use and regulatory confidence for these devices by confirming their real-world safety and potential benefits.

How similar studies have gone: Similar post-marketing follow-ups exist for device-based therapies, but this study's real-world data collection adds practical safety and efficacy context.
