Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators intend to conduct a multicenter clinical trial to verify the effectiveness and safety of the administration of 'Eungyosan(EGS)' and 'Samsoeum(SSE)' in cold patients.


Description:

375 participants with symptoms of the common cold within 48 h will be recruited for this randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects who will participate in the study will be divided into three groups, 'Eungyosan' group(EGS), 'Samsoeum' group(SSE) and placebo group according to the randomization number. Each group of subjects will take the drugs(EGS or SSE or placebo) 3 times a day up to 8 days.

The severity of illness will be assessed by Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version (WURSS-21-K) and the VAS(visual analog scale) every 8days. Also, the duration of the common cold will be checked to evaluate the effectiveness.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The chance in total WURSS-21-K(Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version) score The investigators will assess the primary outcome through the change in total score(symptom score sum quality of life score) of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version (WURSS-21-K) 6 days after baseline. WURSS-21, which consists of questionnaires regarding gross severity, symptoms, quality of life, and improvement of illness. All items rank on a seven-point scale(1=very mild and 7=severe), where a higher score means higher severity. The symptom score is from 0(Do not have this symptom) to 70, and quality of life score is from 0(Not at all) to 56. Therefore, the total score ranges from 0 to 126. 6 days (Data collected at different times can be used as a reference)
Secondary The change in WURSS-21-K(Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version) symptom score The investigators will assess the secondary outcome through the change in symptom score of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version (WURSS-21-K) 6 days after baseline. All items of symptom score rank on a seven-point scale(1=very mild and 7=severe), where a higher score means higher severity. The symptom score ranges from 0(Do not have this symptom) to 70. 6 days (Data collected at different times can be used as a reference)
Secondary The change in WURSS-21-K(Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version quality of life score The investigators will assess the secondary outcome through the change in quality of life score of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 Korean version (WURSS-21-K) 6 days after baseline. All items of quality of life score rank on a seven-point scale(1=very mildly and 7=severely), where a higher score means higher severity. The quality of life score ranges from 0(Not at all) to 56. 6 days (Data collected at different times can be used as a reference)
Secondary The duration of cold symptoms The duration of cold symptoms up to 11 days
Secondary The change in the VAS(Visual Analogue Scale) The investigators will assess the secondary outcome through the change in the VAS(Visual analog scale) 6 days after baseline, using EuroQol-visual analog scales(EQ-VAS). The EQ-VAS is a vertical visual analog scale that takes values between 100 (best imaginable health) and 0 (worst imaginable health), on which participants provide a global assessment of their health. 6 days (Data collected at different times can be used as a reference)
