Systems and methods for improving sleep with therapeutic nasal treatment

A method for improving a patient's sleep by treating at least one of rhinitis, congestion, and rhinorrhea within a sino-nasal cavity of a patient, the method comprising:

• advancing a multi-electrode end effector into the sino-nasal cavity of the patient, the multi-electrode end effector being operably associated with a shaft of a treatment device and configured for delivering energy to one or more target sites within the sino-nasal cavity of the patient, the multi-electrode end effector comprising a first electrode that is spaced apart from a separate and distinct second electrode along a length of the multi-electrode end effector, wherein each of the first and second electrodes comprises an active state and an inactive state and comprises a respective location on the multi-electrode end effector, wherein:
• the first electrode is exposed from a surface of the multi-electrode end effector and is positioned at a separate and discrete portion thereon, the first electrode extending in a first outward direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft to interact with anatomy at a first location within the nasal cavity;
• and
• the second electrode is exposed from a surface of the multi-electrode end effector and is positioned at a separate and discrete portion thereon, the second electrode extending in a second outward direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft to interact with anatomy at a second location within the nasal cavity;
• and
• delivering energy, via the first and second electrodes, to one or more target sites within a sino-nasal cavity of the patient to disrupt multiple neural signals to, and/or result in local hypoxia of, mucus producing and/or mucosal engorgement elements, thereby reducing production of mucus and/or mucosal engorgement within a nose of the patient and reducing or eliminating one or more symptoms associated with at least one of rhinitis, congestion, and rhinorrhea to improve nasal breathability of the patient.
