Cryoablation has emerged as a promising minimally invasive treatment targeting posterior nasal nerves to modulate autonomic contribution to rhinitis symptoms.&lt;b&gt;Aim:&lt;\/b&gt; To evaluate cryoablation efficacy in vasomotor rhinitis through objective rhinomanometric assessment and subjective visual analogue scale evaluation, and identify treatment success predictors.&lt;b&gt;Materials and methods:&lt;\/b&gt; This retrospective study included 102 patients (63 males, 39 females; mean age 41.54 12.97 years) with vasomotor rhinitis who underwent cryoablation. Rhinomanometric measurements and obstruction scores (0\u201310 scale) were assessed pre-treatment and one month post-procedure. Treatment success was defined as \u226530% improvement in mean nasal airflow.&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;\/b&gt; All nasal airflow parameters improved significantly (p &lt; 0.001). The right nasal cavity showed increases of 36.02% 21.88% (inspiratory) and 31.37% 20.02% (expiratory); the left cavity improved by 25.86% 16.27% (inspiratory) and 23.97% 18.63% (expiratory). Effect sizes were large (Cohen's d: 1.84\u20132.67). Obstruction scores decreased from 7.52 0.82 to 1.97 0.41 (73.81% reduction, p &lt; 0.001). Treatment success was achieved in 40.6% of patients. Baseline nasal airflow was the strongest predictor (R = 0.705, p &lt; 0.001), with severe baseline symptoms (&lt;300 ml\/s) predicting greater improvement (\u03b2 = 11.55, p = 0.027).&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/b&gt; Cryoablation significantly improves objective and subjective outcomes in vasomotor rhinitis. Patients with severe baseline symptoms achieve superior results, supporting cryoablation as an effective treatment option for appropriately selected patients<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0055.4419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T07:55:41Z","timestamp":1768204541000},"page":"15-20","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of Cryoablation on Rhinomanometric Parameters in Vasomotor Rhinitis Patients"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"79","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8311-5513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanna","family":"Zieli\u0144ska-Bli\u017aniewska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Allergology and Respiratory Rehabilitation, Medical University of Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6890-6093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Mi\u0142o\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Laryngological Oncology, Audiology and Phoniatrics, Medical University of Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9987-4573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Merecz-Sadowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Allergology and Respiratory Rehabilitation, Medical University of Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2028-9051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Malinowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Allergology and Respiratory Rehabilitation, Medical University of Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"633766r1","unstructured":"Settipane R.A.: Rhinitis: A dose of epidemiological reality.
