The purpose of this trial is to know which method is better in delivering radiofrequency waves for hypertrophied turbinates: coblation or RavoR technique? Researchers will compare both techniques in randomized blinded manner patients will have subjective outcomes like NOSE score, pain Objective outcomes like Turbinate size over long term clinical follow up visits for 1 year

NOSE score
nasal obstruction symptom score for subjective analysis of patient symptom before and after intervention
Time frame: 1 year
Pain VAS score
patient score on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is most severe pain
Time frame: 1-3 months postoperative
Turbinate Size grading
endoscopic grading of turbinate size before and after intervention from 0-4 where 1 is 25% of nasal cavity
Time frame: 1 year postoperative
