Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the compliance of allergic rhinitis patients towards intranasal steroids between those who use mobile daily alarm reminder and those who do not.


Description:

In this single blinded RCT, adults with allergic rhinitis are randomized into either he intervention or control arm. The intervention involves installing an alarm with a prerecorded nmessage "Have you take your intranasal steroids" which will automatically ring every day on the patients mobile phone. The control arm do not have any alarm set up. Both groups are offered counseling and education regarding the importance of compliance to intranasal steroid upon recruitment. Daily reminder to take medication may eliminate reason for forgetting medication schedule, hence, improve compliance towards INCS among patients with allergic rhinitis. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using daily mobile alarm on patient's compliance towards INCS.
