中文摘要
背景： 鼻周期是一个正常的生理过程，涉及鼻腔交替性充血和减充血，然而患者对这一现象的认知情况了解甚少。本研究旨在评估患者对鼻周期的认知及其与鼻部症状感知和焦虑的关联。
方法： 这项前瞻性观察性研究纳入了120例成人耳鼻喉科门诊患者。采用结构化问卷评估对鼻周期的认知、对交替性鼻塞的感知以及焦虑。鼻部症状严重程度采用鼻塞症状评估评分测量，鼻气流优势侧采用冷压舌板试验评估。
结果： 仅28.3%的患者意识到鼻周期。尽管51.7%的患者感知到交替性鼻塞，但大多数人认为这是异常的。认知较差与较高的鼻塞症状评估评分（p = 0.01）和焦虑增加（p = 0.003）相关。
结论： 对鼻周期的认知有限会导致对正常生理的误解。简单的咨询可能减轻与症状相关的焦虑。
英文摘要
BACKGROUND: The nasal cycle is a normal physiological process involving alternating congestion and decongestion of the nasal cavities, yet patient awareness of this phenomenon is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to assess patient awareness of the nasal cycle and its association with nasal symptom perception and anxiety.
METHODS: This prospective observational study included 120 adult ENT outpatients. A structured questionnaire assessed awareness of the nasal cycle, perception of alternating nasal obstruction and anxiety. Nasal symptom severity was measured using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation score, and nasal airflow dominance was assessed with the cold spatula test.
RESULTS: Only 28.3 per cent of patients were aware of the nasal cycle. Although 51.7 per cent perceived alternating nasal obstruction, most considered it abnormal. Poor awareness was associated with higher Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores (p = 0.01) and increased anxiety (p = 0.003).
CONCLUSION: Limited awareness of the nasal cycle leads to misinterpretation of normal physiology. Simple counselling may reduce symptom related anxiety.
