Popis: Patients with vasomotor rhinitis accounts for most of the non-allergic rhinitis ones. A wearable measurement system was developed to record multiple physiological signals to record the onset of non-allergic rhinitis. Vasomotor rhinitis symptoms are generally stimulated by a sudden change in ambient temperature. The temperature of two rooms were set at 20 and 30 ℃, respectively. Subjects were asked to stay in the warm room then enter the cold room to trigger the nasal congestion. A non-allergic rhinitis subject show very different response from that of a Normal subject. The measurement system is to quantitatively record the stimulation and evaluate the treatment result.
