  Vasomotor rhinitis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasomotor rhinitis is a form of rhinitis that is not related to allergic reactions, but which is characterized by many of the same symptoms, such as a chronic running nose with intermittent sneezing, rhinorrhea and blood-vessel congestion of the nasal mucus membranes.
Vasomotor rhinitis is to be distinguished from sinus infection or other forms of allergy.
Vasomotor rhinitis is also known as non-allergenic rhinitis, because it often has the same symptoms as allergies, but has different causes.

 Early American Manual Therapy
The vasomotor nerve is connected to the spinal cord through the (a) rami communicantes; (b) nervi sacralia and (c) to the cerebrum by the vagi.
The vasomotor or sympathetic nerves are practically the visceral branches of the spinal nerves.
The chief manifestation of the vasomotor nerve is that it is endowed with a peculiar rhythmical phenomenon.

 Vasomotor Rhinitis
I was recently diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis by an allergist.
Vasomotor rhinitis is a poorly understood "wastebasket" term for people who have a stuffy or draining nose, but don't have evidence of specific allergies.
Unfortunately, vasomotor rhinitis is difficult to treat other than avoiding environmental vapors, rapid weather changes (impossible in Wisconsin!), and emotional stress.

 Brookwood ENT Associates, Vasomotor Rhinitis
There is some evidence that individuals with vasomotor rhinitis have an imbalance in the nerve supply to the nose which leads to the dilated blood vessels.
In addition to the historical data to help distinguish allergic from vasomotor rhinitis, allergy testing can be done to differentiate these 2 types of chronic rhinitis.
Antihistamines are less effective in vasomotor rhinitis because histamine is a mediator in allergic rhinitis.

 American Family Physician: Night sweats are commonly vasomotor symptoms
Although hot flushes and night sweats (vasomotor symptoms) often are considered to be typical of menopause, there are good epidemiologic studies showing that many women experience them before they cease menstruation for a year and become menopausal.
Vasomotor symptoms commonly begin at night and have a characteristic pattern in regularly menstruating women in their late 30s through 40s who are beginning the process of ovarian aging.
Vasomotor symptoms are typically cyclic, maximal before menstrual flow, (4) and more common in fls than in white urban women with regular menstrual cycles.

Vasomotor changes were recorded at baseline, breathholding, valsalva manuever, hand grip, mental activity, 5-minute ischemia tests and cold test.
Vasomotor tonus increased, thus decreasing pulse volume in the left hand as well, while cold test was applied to right hand.
But the increase in vasomotor tonus in left hand was not as prominent as it was in right and no rebound effect was observed in left.

 Auckland Allergy Clinic - Vasomotor Rhinitis (VMR) or idiopathic non-allergic rhinitis
Non-allergic, Non-Infectious eg Vasomotor Rhinitis (or Irritant rhinitis).
Vasomotor Rhinitis is chronic rhinitis that is characterised by intermittent (coming and going) episodes of sneezing, watery nasal drainage (rhinorrhea), and blood vessel congestion of the nasal mucus membranes.
Subjects with vasomotor rhinitis fall into two general groups: "runners" who have "wet" rhinorrhea, and "dry" subjects with predominant symptoms of nasal congestion and blockage to airflow, and minimal rhinorrhea.

 Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy: Vasomotor Innervation Fields of Peripheral Nerves Supplying the Hand: ...
Through anatomical observation of the course of peripheral nerves and arteries in the hand, it may be noted that the median and ulnar nerves travel adjacent to the arteries supplying the hand.13,14 The ulnar nerve travels with the ulnar artery.
Specifically, the arteries of the hand are innervated by the neighboring peripheral nerve.11 Yet to be explored is whether this principle holds for vasomotor innervation to proximal regions of the upper limb as well as the lower limb.

 Chronic Pains Associated with Positive and Negative Sensory, Motor, and Vasomotor Manifestations: CPSMV (RSD;CRPS?). ...
The somatosensory, somatomotor, and vasomotor clinical manifestations usually associated with chronic pain in CPSMV patients are, by nature, neurologic, and therefore call for specialized history and physical evaluation of the nervous system.
Vasomotor signs-e.g., hypothermia of the symptomatic parts with a glove or stocking distribution-are due to vasoconstriction not caused by sympathetic-denervation supersensitivity, but rather by increased neural sympathetic tone, as revealed by regional vasodilatation and warming after sympathetic block, sympathectomy, or block of somatic nerves.
Vasomotor signs may be present in the symptomatic parts of the body; however, these signs might be unrelated to the sympathetic system, the consequence of sympathetic ablation, or a genuine reflection of increased sympathetic activity not necessarily related to pain (Ochoa, 1991b, 1992a, 1992b, 1993; Ochoa and Verdugo, 1992; Rosenbaum and Ochoa, 1993).

A study of African-American women in menopause shows that while they experience many of the same symptoms as white women, they report more vasomotor symptoms such as dizziness and bloating, according to a study by a Yale School of Nursing researcher.
Other common symptoms were forgetfulness, depression, irritability, fatigue, headache, and skin and hair changes.
Less common menopausal symptoms reported by the African-American women were related to vasomotor functions, which involve constriction of blood vessels.

 Treatment of menopause-associated vasomotor symptoms
Among nonprescription remedies, clinical trial results are insufficient to either support or refute efficacy for soy foods and isoflavone supplements (from either soy or red clover), fl cohosh, or vitamin E; however, no serious side effects have been associated with short-term use of these therapies.
Clinicians are advised to enlist women's participation in decision making when weighing the benefits, harms, and scientific uncertainties of therapeutic options.
Regardless of the management strategy adopted, treatment should be periodically reassessed as menopause-related vasomotor symptoms will abate over time without any intervention in most women.
