Filter by:In recent years, a number of randomized controlled trials have confirmed the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). Indeed, the latest American clinical guidelines recommended acupuncture treatment for AR patients who are interested in non-pharmacological treatment. In conventional acupuncture treatment for AR, needles are inserted at specific acupoints in the body; with several studies demonstrating acupuncture of sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) to improve nasal symptoms and quality of life in nasal inflammatory diseases. The investigators hypothesize that, compared with sham acupuncture and rescue medication (RM), active SPG acupuncture combined with RM would lead to greater improvements in symptoms score and reduction in overall need for antihistamines. To test this hypothesis the investigators design a randomized, double blind, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of SPG acupuncture in pollen-induced seasonal AR patients and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms.
The medicinal properties of pinecones have been used for years to treat a variety of illnesses. In the mouse model, an extract of pine cones, poly-phenylpropanoid-polysaccharide complex (PPC), has been shown to reduce total serum IgE levels as well as decreased production of IL-4, a cytokine associated with allergic disease. In this study, the investigators aim to determine the effects that PPC will have on total serum IgE levels in adult subjects with perennial rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease of nasal mucosa, affecting 10% to 40% of the population globally. Allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only etiological treatment available for AR.Traditionally, AIT is divided into subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). Artemisia annua is one of the most important allergen that is responsible for seasonal AR in China during July and October. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentred, phase III trial. 702 subjects with allergic rhinitis caused by Artemisia pollen were recruited and randomized to the immunotherapy group and placebo group.
Prospective multicentric study. 60 subjects with allergic rhinitis will be enrolled to test the efficacy of nasal hypertonic spray Puressentiel on symptoms of allergic rhinitis and nasal peak flow. Subjects with allergic rhinitis and nasal obstruction will use during 30 days the nasal spray (2 nebulisations /day in each nostril) during 30 days. Rhinitis symptoms questionnaire and nasal inspiratory peak flow will be evaluated before and after 30 days of exposure.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen and mites, and is associated with several symptoms such as itching and nasal congestion, sneezing or tearing and redness of the eyes. RA can affect patients life quality who suffer it, reducing the quality of sleep and cognitive function, causing irritability and fatigue and, consequently a decrease in work performance. Because the existing pharmacological treatments for RA are not entirely effective, it is of interest to find other means to enhance the effects of these drugs and decrease more effectively the signs and symptoms associated with RA. In this context, RA has been related to an alteration of the intestinal microbiota (MI).However, there is a need to characterize in detail the MI of individuals who suffer RA. The main objective of the present study is to characterize the MI of individuals with RA, compared with people without RA. In addition, the secondary objective is to study the association between characteristics of the MI of individuals with RA and different immunological markers.
There is increasing evidence that the effectiveness of allergy immunotherapy to control symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis is related to the cumulative dose of allergen or allergoid administered during a single regimen of subcutaneous (SC) injections or of sublingual administration. Previously, high cumulative doses of the Grass MATA MPL 10200 and 18200 SU (Standardized Units) were compared with the marketed dose of 5100 SU and were found to have acceptable tolerability and safety. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of an even higher cumulative dose regimen of 35600 SU. of Grass MATA MPL compared with placebo in patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) due to grass pollen, to enable selection of the best dose to take forward for further development.
This is a Phase 2a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Norketotifen (NKT) in subjects with allergic rhinitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate (SCH 32088) aqueous nasal spray 200 mcg once daily compared to placebo once daily in the treatment of participants with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Flonase (fluticasone propionate) nasal spray 200 mcg once daily has been chosen as the active control for this study.
The purpose of this study was to identify the lowest dosage of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) that provided adequate efficacy with an acceptable safety profile for children (ages 6-11) with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). The MFNS dose levels of 25, 100, and 200 mcg QD were compared with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), as an active control, and placebo.
Children will receive biodiversity intervention or placebo. The proof of concept trial is double blind. Intervention will start at the age of 2 months and last 10 months. Children will be randomized to arms. IgE sensitization is the primary outcome.
