What is NEUROMARK?

NEUROMARK is a new, FDA-cleared treatment that uses targeted cryotherapy to disrupt the overactive nerves that contribute to chronic rhinitis. Developed by Neurent Medical, the NEUROMARK system is designed to precisely identify and treat the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) — a key nerve pathway involved in regulating nasal secretions.

Here’s how it works:

1. During the procedure, your sinus specialist inserts a small, flexible device into the nasal cavity.
2. Using built-in navigation and anatomical markers, the NEUROMARK system maps the nasal nerve branches for optimal treatment.
3. Once the target areas are located, low-temperature cryotherapy is applied to disrupt the nerve signals responsible for triggering excess mucus production and inflammation.

The procedure is minimally invasive, typically completed in under 30 minutes, and does not require general anesthesia. Because of its high precision and controlled application, NEUROMARK allows for consistent, repeatable results with minimal risk to surrounding tissue.

Unlike older rhinitis treatments that only manage symptoms — like nasal sprays, antihistamines, or steroid medications — NEUROMARK addresses the root neurological cause of chronic rhinitis. By calming the hyperactive nerves, the body’s overreaction to environmental stimuli is reduced, providing long-lasting relief for patients who have struggled for years with chronic nasal conditions.

What conditions and symptoms does NEUROMARK treat?

NEUROMARK is primarily designed for patients with chronic rhinitis, which includes both:

If you experience two or more of the following symptoms for at least 12 weeks, you may be a candidate for NEUROMARK:

• Constant nasal congestion
• Postnasal drip
• Runny nose
• Chronic sneezing
• Chronic cough caused by sinus drainage
• A persistent need to clear your throat

Many patients who have failed to respond to over-the-counter medications, allergy shots, or nasal sprays report dramatic improvements after NEUROMARK.

It is also a promising option for those suffering from vasomotor rhinitis, a type of non-allergic rhinitis caused by imbalances in nerve signals rather than allergens. This makes NEUROMARK especially helpful for patients who test negative for allergies but still suffer from chronic rhinitis symptoms.

How NEUROMARK differs from other procedures

The NEUROMARK system stands apart from traditional treatments and earlier cryotherapy techniques in a few key ways:

1. Advanced nerve mapping

Traditional cryotherapy procedures like ClariFix target the posterior nasal nerve but offer limited anatomical precision. NEUROMARK uses multi-point mapping and an intelligent feedback system to ensure accurate nerve targeting across the nasal cavity, improving both the consistency and durability of outcomes.

2. Multi-site cryotherapy delivery

Rather than delivering cold therapy to just one or two general areas, NEUROMARK treats multiple, patient-specific sites. This enables the sinus specialist to fully disrupt the nerve pathways contributing to chronic rhinitis, which can vary from person to person.

3. Minimized discomfort, faster recovery

NEUROMARK is performed entirely in-office with local anesthesia. The precision of the system reduces unnecessary tissue exposure to cold therapy, which means less post-procedure discomfort, fewer complications, and faster return to daily activities.

NEUROMARK — FAQ

What are the NEUROMARK procedure side effects?

Side effects from the NEUROMARK procedure are typically mild and temporary. Common post-treatment effects may include:

• Mild congestion or nasal stuffiness
• Minor nosebleeds
• Temporary increased mucus production
• Soreness or irritation at the treatment site

These symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Unlike surgical treatments, NEUROMARK does not require incisions, packing, or general anesthesia, making recovery far easier.

What is the success rate of NEUROMARK?

Clinical studies have shown significant symptom improvement in over 80% of patients following the NEUROMARK procedure. Many individuals experience reduced nasal discharge, fewer flare-ups, and an overall improvement in their ability to breathe and sleep.

Because NEUROMARK targets the underlying nerve dysfunction rather than just the symptoms, it offers a more permanent solution than daily medications or nasal sprays.

How much does the NEUROMARK procedure cost?

The cost of NEUROMARK depends on several factors including insurance coverage, diagnostic imaging, and the specifics of your treatment plan. Without insurance, the procedure typically costs between $2,500 and $3,500. Some insurance providers may cover the procedure for patients with documented chronic rhinitis who have tried other treatment options.

At Kaplan Sinus Relief, we will walk you through your cost and coverage options upfront and help determine whether your plan covers part or all of the procedure. Flexible payment plans are also available for qualified patients.
