Change from Baseline rTNSS
Mean change in reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) from baseline. The TNSS is an instrument used to collect patient self-rated severity of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching and sneezing. In this study, a reflective score will be collected, in which the subject will be asked to evaluate symptom severity over the preceding 12 hours. Symptom severity is rated on a 4-point scale of 0 (absent symptoms), 1 (mild symptoms), 2 (moderate symptoms, or 3 (severe symptoms), with the total score therefore ranging from 0 to 12. A negative change reported for the change from baseline indicates an improved outcome.
