Problems solved by technology

Due to the lack of good surgical markers for identifying the required posterior nasal nerve, these neurotomy procedures are very complicated and laborious, and even when the desired nerve is localized, the removal of the nerve can be very difficult because the nerve must be separated from the surrounding vasculature (e.g., sphenopalatine artery) phase separation

Embodiment approach

[0046] figure 2 is a partial schematic diagram of a therapeutic neuromodulation system 200 ("system 200") for therapeutically modulating nerves in the nasal region in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology. System 200 includes a therapeutic neuromodulation catheter or device 202, a console 204, and a cable 206 extending therebetween. The therapeutic neuromodulation device 202 includes a shaft 208 having a proximal portion 208a and a distal portion 208b, a handle 210 located at the proximal portion 208a of the shaft 208, a therapeutic assembly or element located at the distal portion 208b of the shaft 208 212. The shaft 208 is configured to endoluminally position the distal portion 208b at a treatment or target site within the nasal region proximal to the postganglionic parasympathetic nerve innervating the nasal mucosa. The target site may be a region, volume or area where the target nerve is located, and may vary in size and shape depending on the patient'...

Abstract

Devices and related systems and methods for therapeutic nasal neuromodulation are disclosed herein. A system for therapeutic neuromodulation in the nasal region configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology may include, for example, a shaft and a therapeutic element located at a distal portion of the shaft. The shaft can position the distal portion lumenally at a target site below the sphenopalatine foramen of the patient. The therapeutic element may include an energy delivery element configured to therapeutically modulate postganglionic parasympathetic nerves located at the palatal foramen of a human patient for the treatment of rhinitis or other indications. In other embodiments, the therapeutic element may be configured to therapeutically modulate nerves innervating the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary sinuses for the treatment of chronic sinusitis.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 160,289, filed May 12, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present technology generally relates to devices, systems and methods for therapeutically modulating nerves in or associated with a patient's nasal region. In particular, several embodiments of the present technology relate to therapeutic neuromodulation systems and methods for the treatment of rhinitis and other indications. Background technique [0004] Sinusitis is characterized by inflammation of the nasal mucosa and refers to a group of conditions that includes allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and drug-resistant rhinitis. Symptoms of sinusitis include nasal congestion, blockage, congestion, runny nose (eg, rhinorrhea and / or postnasal drip), facial pain, facial pressure,...
