Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Measurement of the severity of Upper Respiratory Tract Symptoms (due to common cold, rhinitis, nasopharyngitis) using the Jackson scale.
The severity of 8 symptoms (nasal discharge, nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat, cough, headache, discomfort, chills) will be measured by an ENT specialist using the Jackson scale, which ranges from 0 to 3 (0 : none, 1 : mild, 2 : moderate, 3 : severe). The results will be reported as overall scores in comparison to Day 0 (baseline) and relative to the control group.
Clinical global impression using a scale
This measure involves the clinical evaluation of the patient's condition by an ENT specialist using the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, which utilizes a 7-point scale ((1: greatly improved; 2: moderately improved; 3: slightly improved; 4: unchanged; 5: slightly worsened; 6: moderately worsened; 7: greatly worsened).
Patient global impression using a scale
This measure captures the patient's overall impression of their condition as perceived by the patient themselves. This subjective assessment will be recorded using a standardized 7-point scale ((1: greatly improved; 2: moderately improved; 3: slightly improved; 4: unchanged; 5: slightly worsened; 6: moderately worsened; 7: greatly worsened)), allowing comparison of their current state to the beginning of treatment. This provides insights into the patient's personal perception of their health status and treatment efficacy throughout the study period.
Questionnaire on subject's satisfaction and use of devices
This measure involves the subject's daily self-assessment using a questionnaire. The questionnaire is designed to capture the subject's perceptions and expériences during the study period. Moreover, this questionnaire will allow us to record the number and time of daily use of the devices under study.
