The present invention discloses a method of treating nasal congestion
and/or relieving sinusitis symptoms in a patient comprising attaching a
vibration generating means to the patient head, at a location adjacent to
sinuses to be treated, generating a vibration by said vibration
generating means, and delivering the same to said patient. The present
invention also discloses a device for treating nasal congestion and/or
relieving sinusitis symptoms in a patient, comprising attaching means and
a vibration generating means; said attaching means are in communication
with the patient's head in a location adjacent to said nasal cavity,
nasal passageway or sinuses to be treated; said generating means are
adapted to vibrate said attaching means, to vibrate the location adjacent
to said nasal cavity or sinuses and thus improved mucociliary clearance
of secretions in nasal cavity or sinuses.
