Functional Nasal Evaluation

Functional Nasal Evaluation (FNE) is a medical procedure used to assess the function of the nose. It includes evaluations of airway patency, mucociliary clearance, nasal congestion, sneezing, and nasal airway hyperreactivity. FNE is often used to assess nasal health and determine the presence of nasal diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. It may also be useful to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for nasal disorders. FNE is beneficial to assess potential causes of chronic nasal congestion and recurring infections, and to determine the best route of treatment.
