General information about the procedure
Advantages of the method
Nasal blockade is much more effective than conventional intranasal sprays or tablets. Relief occurs within the first minutes after the injection. To fully restore nasal breathing, 5 to 10 sessions are required.
Advantages of the injection method of administering drugs:
- Low invasiveness
- Quick effect due to the injection of the drug directly into the site of inflammation
- The result lasts for several months
- Effectiveness in cases where other treatments do not help
- An alternative to surgery for mucosal hypertrophy
In case of a nasal injury or during the rehabilitation period after plastic surgery on the nasopharynx, a blockade is the only quick and effective way to relieve swelling of the mucous membrane, pain and inflammation. Also, local administration of the drug reduces the toxic load on the body, since the drug penetrates the mucous membrane, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract.
The procedure is quite simple, it is carried out in a clinic, its duration is several minutes.
When carrying out manipulation, it is important to insert the needle directly into the mucous or submucosal layer, without affecting other tissues and parts of the nose. When performing an injection in the nose, the patient does not experience pain, the discomfort passes quickly.
Immediately after injection, the drug is absorbed into the mucous membrane and affects the nerve endings. As a result, tissue trophism and nasal breathing are restored, anti-inflammatory processes are activated, congestion, pain and dryness of the mucous membrane go away.
In case of swelling due to injury or rehabilitation, after turbinate plastic surgery, injections help relieve swelling and pain, restore blood circulation in the submucosa and eliminate itching. The effect lasts for a long time - up to 6 months.
The next day after the blockade, the patient should come to the doctor for an examination. If an inflammatory reaction occurs, nasal rinsing is prescribed. Repeated procedures are prescribed only in the absence of a pathological process.

About the service
Intranasal blockade is used to relieve nasal congestion in various ENT diseases. The procedure has a quick and lasting effect. Injections of medications performed directly into the site of swelling bring more pronounced results compared to the use of drops, sprays or tablets.
A nasal injection for nasal congestion is indicated when other forms of endonasal treatment are impossible or do not bring results. The doctor decides to perform a blockade based on diagnosis and taking into account the patient’s medical history. The drug (anti-inflammatory, decongestant, painkillers) is selected depending on the diagnosis and purpose of the procedure.
