Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Total Nasal Symptom Score
Time Frame: 20 minutes
TNSS is a measure of nasal congestion, measured as the sum of four symptom scores for rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing (using a scale of 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, or 3=Severe). The minimum TNSS value is 0. The maximum TNSS value is 12. Lower TNSS score means a better outcome
Secondary Outcomes
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Headache(20 minutes)
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Facial Pain(20 minutes)
