The aim of this study was to present briefly the different techniques for measurement of nasal resistance and to show the importance that we attribute to this measurement. Within the framework of the allergological investigation rhinamometry is a parameter that allows evaluation of the results of allergenic nasal provocation. Nasal provocation is in the framework as a complementary examination that is often indespensable to confirm with most possible certainty the involvement of an allergen in the ORL pathology. Positive etiological diagnosis is a fundamental basis for therapeutic advice.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008365	Manometry	Measurement of the pressure or tension of liquids or gases with a manometer.	Tonometry,Manometries
D009296	Nasal Cavity	The proximal portion of the respiratory passages on either side of the NASAL SEPTUM. Nasal cavities, extending from the nares to the NASOPHARYNX, are lined with ciliated NASAL MUCOSA.	Nasal Cavities,Cavities, Nasal,Cavity, Nasal
D009299	Nasal Provocation Tests	Application of allergens to the nasal mucosa. Interpretation includes observation of nasal symptoms, rhinoscopy, and rhinomanometry. Nasal provocation tests are used in the diagnosis of nasal hypersensitivity, including RHINITIS, ALLERGIC, SEASONAL.
