1. Empty nose syndrome is a rare and debilitating complication of turbinate surgery, with varying symptoms of which paradoxical nasal obstruction is typical. 2. Trigeminal training consisting of three-times daily levomenthol and eucalyptol inhalations for at least 30 days were associated with improved subjective nasal patency and quality of life. 3.
