This study is a proof o concept aiming to determine the efficacy of Puressentiel nasal protective spray (PNPS) in patients with allergic rhinitis. Cross over study, with a nasal provocative test (NPT) in patients with allergic rhinitis sensitized to grass pollen. A day 0 (first NPT) the following outcomes are recorded: allergic Rhinitis control test (ARCT) and Inspiratory nasal peak flow (INPF) before and 30 min after the NPT. Nasal lavage is performed 30 min after the NPT and 3 cytokines (IL4, IL5 and IL13 are measured by ELISA. An other NPT is performed at day 30 and the same outcomes measured. 30 min before NPT 2 nasal sprays of PNPS are administered in each nostril in a randomized manner and cross over, the patient being is own control. The primary outcomes ins the IL4, IL5 and IL13 concentrations in the nasal lavage. ARCT and INPF are the secondary outcomes.
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 perennial AR patients (allergic to indoor allergens, including house dust mite, fungi, animal dander and so one) and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms.
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.
Testing of a new ready-to-use Tape in comparison to the currently used skin prick test for the diagnosis of allergies. Assessment of clinical equivalence of the SPT Tape for representative common inhalant allergens to conventional SPT in terms of wheal reaction positivity and overall safety. Tests are performed in patients who have a medical history of relevant allergic rhinitis to any of the tested allergens.
The purpose of this study is verify the efficacy and safety of Cettum (Electrical moxibustion) for patients with perennial allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis is a common condition that affects adults as well as children and adolescents, often with impaired quality of life. Patients often report a poor level of satisfaction with the effectiveness of their treatment and are always looking for more drug combinations to improve their symptom. Several tools exist for assessing control of allergic rhinitis, but none has been validated in adolescents or in children. A study conducted in 2008, resulted in the validation of a self-administered control test of allergic rhinitsis (ARCT) in patients from 12 years of age. However, this study included only 67 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years old and lacked power. In this new study,the investigators propose, following exactly the same procedure as the pilot study of 2008, to confirme the validation of unmodified Adult questionnaire in adolescents 12 to 17 years inclusive.
