Positional rhinomanometry is a physiologic method for estimating nasal resistance, which is variable, difficult to predict, and linked to vasomotor activity of the functional system culminating in the turbinate valves. Thirty subjects suffering from allergic rhinitis, 25 patients affected by aspecific rhinitis, and 40 healthy controls underwent positional rhinomanometry. Test positions included the seated (baseline), supine, and recumbent (homolateral and contralateral to the nasal fossa under examination). In patients with perennial allergic rhinitis and in those with aspecific rhinitis, positional rhinomanometry elicited two pathologic responses: either an average percentage rise of more than 80% in nasal resistance in the supine and homolateral and contralateral recumbent positions compared with basal values, or a paradoxical fall in the supine and homolateral recumbent positions.
体位鼻阻力测量法是一种评估鼻阻力的生理学方法，鼻阻力具有变异性、难以预测，且与终末于鼻甲瓣的功能系统的血管舒缩活动相关。30名变应性鼻炎患者、25名非变应性鼻炎患者和40名健康对照者接受了体位鼻阻力测量。测试体位包括坐位（基线）、仰卧位和卧位（与受检鼻窝同侧和对侧）。在常年性变应性鼻炎患者和非变应性鼻炎患者中，体位鼻阻力测量引发了两种病理性反应：与基础值相比，仰卧位、同侧卧位和对侧卧位时鼻阻力平均百分比升高超过80%，或者仰卧位和同侧卧位时鼻阻力出现反常下降。
