Abstract
A method for treating nerves in a nasal cavity starts with identifying a patient having a condition occurring outside the nasal cavity. The method then involves activating a console attached to a radiofrequency stylus, advancing a distal tip of the radiofrequency stylus into a nostril of the patient, contacting nasal mucosa lining the nasal cavity with a treatment surface of the distal tip, and delivering radiofrequency energy from one set of bipolar electrodes on the treatment surface of the distal tip to a second set of bipolar electrodes on the treatment surface, to treat at least one nerve underlying the nasal mucosa. Treating the nerve (or nerves) involves modulating activity of the nerve to ameliorate the condition occurring outside the nasal cavity.
