Abstract
In an example, a method for delivery of a therapeutic agent to at least one of a palatine canal or a pterygopalatine fossa of a patient is described. The method includes inserting a delivery device into a nasal cavity of a patient. The delivery device includes an elongated shaft with a proximal end and a distal end, a handpiece coupled to the proximal end of the elongated shaft, and a boring element disposed on the distal end of the elongated shaft. The method also includes advancing the distal end of the elongated shaft to a position proximate to a palatine bone within the nasal cavity, actuating the boring element to form a passage in the palatine bone between the nasal cavity and a palatine canal of the patient, and delivering a therapeutic agent into the palatine canal.
