Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Difference in Ratio of Degranulated Goblet Cells.

    Mean change from Screening to Application Visit in ratio of goblet cell degranulation post-intranasal use of the Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator (ITN) at the Application visit compared to without use of the ITN at the Screening visit

    Screening (Day -60 to Day -30) to Application Visit (Day 0)

Study Arms (2)

ITN [TrueTear®] - Intranasal Application

EXPERIMENTAL

Intranasal application of the ITN. Single application at application visit.

Device: Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator (ITN) [TrueTear®]

ITN [TrueTear®] - Extranasal Application

EXPERIMENTAL

Extranasal application of the ITN. Single application at application visit.

Device: Intranasal Tear Neurostimulator (ITN) [TrueTear®]

Interventions

The ITN applies a small electrical current to the nasal cavities to gently activate the body's natural tear production system.
