Endoscopic Procedures for Refractory Chronic Vasomotor Rhinitis

I consider vidian neurectomy to be a rather aggressive procedure for treating a bothersome but non–life-threatening condition such as chronic vasomotor rhinitis.
Has anyone had good experience with less invasive alternatives, such as posterior nasal nerve ablation (radiofrequency or cryotherapy), targeted neural modulation-botox, or other approaches? I would greatly appreciate hearing about your clinical experience, preferred techniques, and any key references you would recommend.
