A simple, quick, validated method of recording the nasal cycle in humans using a subjective scale.

CONCLUSION: The use of the subjective ordinal scale and nasal partitioning ratio provides a sensitive tool for assessing relative nasal airflow, with results that correlate strongly with rhinomanometric data. This finding strongly suggests that this combination could be used for future subjective assessment of the nasal cycle.
