Included patients had to have failed medical therapy such as anti-cholinergic nasal sprays, reflux treatments, and\/or nasal steroids. Primary outcome measures included 22 item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) PND component and Total Nasal Symptom Score. Secondary outcome measure was subjective improvement, defined as a \u2009&gt;\u200930% improvement in PND symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Median follow-up was 138 days (interquartile range: 72-193). 72.5% (29\/40) of patients reported at least a 30% improvement in PND symptoms. Mean PND SNOT-22 scores were 4.2\/5 (SD\u2009=\u20090.8) pre-procedure versus 1.9\/5 (SD\u2009=\u20091.3) post-procedure ( P\u2009=\u2009.001). PNN ablation response did not correlate to ipratropium bromide nasal spray response, although younger and non-smoker patients had better response rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This exploratory study of PNN ablation for the primary symptom of PND demonstrates efficacy as assessed by the PND component of SNOT-22 and subjective improvement.
