Objective and subjective measurements of nasal patency were made before and after L-menthol stimulation of the palatal mucosa (supplied with the trigeminal nerve) in 15 normal adult subjects. The stimulation exerted indirect effect on the nasal cavity in that all subjects mentioned a cold sensation in their nose and a sensation of increased nasal patency, but no influence on nasal resistance to airflow was detected.
对15名正常成年受试者在腭黏膜(由三叉神经支配)接受L-薄荷醇刺激前后进行了鼻腔通畅度的客观和主观测量。这种刺激对鼻腔产生了间接影响,因为所有受试者都提到鼻子有冷感以及鼻腔通畅度增加的感觉,但未检测到对气流鼻腔阻力有影响。
