Filter by:Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common condition, with nearly 300 million affected individuals in China, significantly impacting the quality of life. Despite standardized drug treatments, approximately 20% of AR patients experience inadequate control and require surgical intervention. AR manifests as nasal itching, sneezing, clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, primarily associated with inflammation-induced hypertrophy of nasal turbinates and a heightened neurogenic state of the nasal mucosa. Surgical treatment focuses on "reducing hypertrophy" of nasal turbinates and "desensitizing" neurogenic hyperreactivity.High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a minimally invasive therapeutic modality in AR, is still in its early stages of application and requires further multicenter clinical studies and widespread adoption. This project collaborates with six established institutions proficient in ultrasound treatment for AR. It aims to conduct a prospective multicenter observational study and subsequent dissemination, emphasizing the application of "reduction of hypertrophy" and "desensitization" in AR.Through standardized case selection, subjective and objective measures such as subjective symptom scores, quality of life assessments, nasal reflex, and nasal resistance tests before and after treatment will be employed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of HIFU in "reducing hypertrophy" and "desensitizing" aspects of AR. Simultaneously, building on our established Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Alliance and Southwest Allergy Alliance, the research results will be promoted through lectures, hands-on guidance, training sessions, academic conferences, and other means to facilitate the application of HIFU in AR and benefit a larger population of AR patients.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) currently affects ~25% of Canadians, and due to factors of climate change, this number is expected to increase over the coming decade. AR symptoms can significantly impact individuals' quality of life by compromising sleep, productivity, and social interactions. To alleviate AR symptoms, North Americans tend to rely on H1 antihistamine medications available over-the-counter (OTC) at most pharmacies. However, public health authorities currently suggest restraining all antihistamines during heat waves due to beliefs that M3 muscarinic receptor and H1 receptor antagonism, independent pharmacological mechanisms of H1 antihistamines, might suppress thermoregulatory responses to heat stress and increase individuals' susceptibility to heat-related illness/injury. To date, studies using supramaximal doses of antihistamines have demonstrated reductions in sweating, however these doses and administration routes are not the typical use case. Additional studies utilizing fexofenadine, a second-generation H1 antihistamine, have linked H1 receptor antagonism to reductions in skin blood flow, potentially impacting thermoregulation by reducing peripheral blood redistribution. Empirical evidence supporting OTC H1 antihistamines impacting thermoregulatory control at recommended doses is scarce. Thus, this study aims to systematically assess whether three common OTC H1 antihistamines, taken as prescribed, alter thermoregulatory responses during thermal stress.
The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on allergic rhinitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Based on randomized controlled trials, verify the effectiveness of moxibustion in treating allergic rhinitis Based on a real-time monitoring system for human surface temperature, discuss the differences in therapeutic effects of different moxibustion doses on allergic rhinitis
During this project, the investigators want to explore in vitro changes in basal cells and the crosstalk with residing immune cells as potential pathogenic mechanisms in CRSwNP vs healthy controls by using surgically resected patient samples.
The brief of this observational study is to evaluate usage, efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction of a range of hypertonic seawater-based decongestant nasal sprays in general population. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Usage, - Efficacy, - Safety, - Satisfaction, in real-life usage with children, adults and pregnant or breastfeeding women. Participants will use the nasal spray as usual habits and complete daily questionnaires.
This is a Phase I/Ib, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of INI-2004, administered as single or multiple doses. This study will be conducted in two parts: Phase I single ascending dose (SAD) and Phase Ib multiple ascending dose (MAD).
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a non-infectious chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa mainly mediated by immunoglobulin E after exposure to allergens in atopic individuals. The typical symptoms of AR are paroxysmal sneezing, watery rhinorrhea, itching, and nasal congestion, which may be accompanied by ocular symptoms, including eye itching, tearing, redness, and burning sensation, which are more common in patients with hay fever allergies. Bronchial asthma is associated with bronchial asthma in 40% of patients with AR, suggesting a comorbid feature of allergic disease.
Allergic rhinitis is a chronic respiratory disorder affecting patients' quality of life and work performance. Pharmacists are identified as suitable professionals to deliver patient education and pharmaceutical care in managing allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. Local clinical practice guidelines in Malaysia are lacking, especially in pharmaceutical care in public healthcare institutions. This study protocol describes a randomised control trial (RCT) that aims to determine the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led educational model in managing AR (AR-PRISE Model) compared to standard pharmaceutical care. The AR-PRISE model delivers patient educational material (video) and an algorithm for pharmaceutical care.
The aim of this study to compare the efficacy of Rhinophototherapy to Intranasal Corticosteroids on the the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis patients. The main question to answer is: Does intranasal phototherapy reduce inflammation in the tissue biopsy of the inferior turbinate mucosa compared to intranasal steroids? The hypothesis for this study is Intranasal phototherapy will reduce mucosal inflammation without mucosal damage and is comparable to intranasal steroids in allergic rhinitis patients
Allergic rhinitis (AR) represents one of the most common global health problems with seriously increasing incidence over the last decades.The goal of the treatment of rhinitis is to prevent or reduce the symptoms through reduction of the inflammation of affected tissues. Acupuncture and pranayama yoga exercises had reported a significant improvement in daily symptoms and an increase of symptom-free days in many studies enrolling geriatric patients.
