Filter by:The purpose of study is to compared the impact of the integrative care clinic to ordinary western medicine among patients of moderate persistent allergic rhinitis combined with sleep disorder and establishing the collaborative care model of TCM and western medicine for pediatric allergic rhinitis with sleep disorder. Investigators invited children aged below 18 years old to the integrative care clinic as experimental group, who have persistent moderate allergic rhinitis, more than 60 scores of the OSA-18 sleep questionnaire, and can accept integrative therapy. The controlled group is patients who receive ordinary western treatment. Investigators compare these two groups by questionnaires of OSA-18,SN-5, PADQLQ,SNAP-IV, the dose of nasal corticosteroid , and polysomnography.
Seasonal allergic rhinitis has multiple consequences: sleep disturbances, fatigue, depressed mood, impaired quality of life and productivity, and co-morbid conditions such as asthma, which affects one third of AR patients. In Europe, more than 150 million people suffer from allergic rhinitis and more than 25 million suffer from asthma. About 30% have uncontrolled rhinitis during exposure to allergens. The impact of allergic diseases on work productivity is estimated to be between 30 and 50 billion € per year in the EU. Studies show that pollution can play a role in the amplification of the response to inhaled pollen allergens by inducing morphological and functional modifications of nasal and bronchial epithelia, but also by inducing structural modifications of allergenic molecules. However, although data show that the symptoms of AR are aggravated by exposure to air pollution, this effect is not observed for all pollens. The study area is very exposed to pollens (with a significant presence of cypress pollen) and air pollution, and presents a prevalence of asthma of 17% while the national average is about 7%. The aim of this study is to establish, if they exist, links between pollens of various species, air pollution and symptoms of allergic rhinitis. The knowledge of these links will allow public authorities to set up prevention actions, and patients to better manage their allergic rhinitis on a daily basis.
One hundred patients were enrolled, based on sensitization and doctor-diagnosed allergy to HDM. Questionnaires were administered to document demographic and clinical characteristics. Serum IgE reactivity toDermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) extract, Der p 1, Der p 2 and Der p 10 was measured by ImmunoCAP.
Allergen specific immunotherapy is currently the only curative intervention for allergic rhinitis (AR). Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) need to be reinstituted with an interruption of more than 16 weeks in maintenance period, leading to increased time and economic cost burden and difficulties for continuing further treatment for patients. The aim of present study was to develop a novel dose adjustment schedule for such situation and to compare the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions between novel and conventional schedules for dust mite (DM) SCIT of AR subjects.
IgE-associated allergy is a hypersensitivity disease affecting more than 40% of the population in industrialised countries. Recently the kinetics of change of clinical and immunological parameters (e.g. nasal blockage and cytokine profiles) in response to allergen exposure have been described. Additionally through recent placebo controlled studies it has become clear that the response of certain cytokines can not only be triggered by allergen exposure but also mechanically e.g through the insertion of nasal swabs for collection of cytokines. However it is not clear to what extent the mechanically triggered cytokine responses may differ between healthy, allergic and asthmatic patients who have been shown to have different cytokine profiles in their nasal secretions and varying impairment of their respiratory epithelium. As collection devices for nasal secretions are frequently used in clinical studies, the investigators aim to assess the impact of mechanical stimulation by frequent cytokine sampling on the cytokine profile.
This is a phase 4 study to evaluate the the efficacy of second generation antihistamine on cough outcomes in cough patients with allergic rhinitis.
The aim of the study is to investigate the long-term effect of a lozenge containing beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), iron, retinoic acid, zinc and polyphenols (holo-BLG) in people with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis caused by house dust mites and the associated symptoms (symptom type and severity) during exposure to house dust mites in an Allergen Exposure Chamber (AEC). In particular, the study aims to evaluate whether the improvements in symptoms of house dust mite-induced rhinoconjunctivitis observed after 3 months of supplementation with holo-BLG can still be detected 7 to 8 months after the last intake.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 30% of adult population. Some patients associate septal deviation, main cause of chronic nasal obstruction, and AR. Current literature about AR treatment with septoplasty (STP) is still contradictory, because is thought that patients with AR are not able to appreciate improvement after surgery. Patients diagnosed with allergic rinitis and septal deviation were evaluated to determined life quality and airflow obstruction evolution after STP.
An open label, randomized, three-treatment, three-period, crossover, single dose study, to investigate drug-drug interaction and relative bioavailability between the fixed dose combination Azelastine hydrochloride / Beclomethasone dipropionate (140/100 μg Azelastine hydrochloride / Beclomethasone dipropionate) Nasal Spray, and Beclomethasone Dipropionate Nasal Spray (100 μg Beclomethasone Dipropionate) in the test vehicle, and the commercially available product, RinoClenil® Nasal Spray (100 μg Beclomethasone Dipropionate), in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.
The aim of the study is: - to evaluate the serum levels of miR-223 and miRNA146a and to assess their correlation with disease severity in allergic rhinitis patients and their role as biomarkers for efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy. - also to find if high sensitivity CRP can be an easy non-expensive test for diagnosis and follow up of allergic rhinitis patients.
