Nasal strips, such as the widely studied "Breathe Right" brand, are designed to alleviate nasal congestion by physically expanding the nasal passages. These adhesive strips consist of two flexible, spring-like polymer bands embedded in a non-woven fabric base. When applied correctly along the nasal bridge, the bands exert upward tension, lifting the soft tissue and cartilage of the nasal valve. This mechanism reduces airflow resistance by up to 31%, as confirmed by airflow perturbation device (APD) studies involving 47 volunteers.
Clinical trials highlight their efficacy in diverse scenarios. For instance, adolescent athletes using nasal strips during a 1000m race demonstrated a 12% increase in peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) and a 3.5% improvement in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) compared to placebo groups. Similarly, individuals with chronic nasal congestion reported reduced snoring and improved sleep quality, with 78% of users experiencing relief from cold- or allergy-induced stuffiness.
The strips' design prioritizes comfort and safety. The adhesive, typically acrylic-based, minimizes skin irritation, while the PE and non-woven materials ensure breathability. However, proper usage is critical: strips must be placed midway down the nose, avoiding sores or sunburned skin, and should not exceed 12 hours of wear. For athletes or snorers, nasal strips offer a drug-free alternative to decongestants, enhancing performance and sleep without systemic side effects.
