Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is a common complaint affecting millions worldwide. It significantly impacts quality of life, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, congestion, sleep disturbance, and impaired sense of smell. Historically, treatment of NAO focused on surgical intervention within a hospital setting. Office-based treatments have revolutionized the management of NAO. Early office-based treatments involved cautery and radiofrequency ablation of the nasal mucosa. Careful patient selection, thorough comprehensive evaluation and appropriate techniques, is essential for achieving optimal outcomes. As technology continues to advance, office-based procedures will play an even greater role in the management of NAO in the future.
