Comparison of nasal patency after nose-blowing between pinch versus no pinch method: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract We proposed that nose-blowing without pinching was safer and able to get rid of mucus and maintain nasal patency as effective as the pinch and blow method. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nasal patency after nose-blowing by pinching the nose versus no pinching. The patients...
