The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of yoga training on rhinitis symptoms and cytokines in allergic rhinitis patients. Twenty-seven allergic rhinitis patients, aged 18-45 year old, were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=14) and yoga group (YOG; n=13). The control group had normal life and the yoga group was required to complete protocol with yoga training for a period of 8 weeks, 60 minutes, 3 times a week. Physiological variables, lung function variables, allergic rhinitis symptoms variables, and cytokines level in nasal secretion variables were analyzed during pre-test and post-test. The dependent variables between pre-test and post-test were analyzed by a paired t-test. The dependent variables between groups were analyzed by independent t-test. One way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the variables among pre-test, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Differences were considered to be significant at p < 0.05.
TX-SMILE is an investigator-initiated, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intra-lymphatic administration of an approved allergenic extract for the immunotherapy treatment of allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis due to pollen from the conifer Mountain Cedar.
Allergic rhinitis is one of the chronic illnesses. At present, the major treatments for allergic rhinitis are avoiding allergens, medical treatment and surgery. However, inadequate effects, and possible side effects of these treatments are still problems to these patients. Therefore, to find an effective non-medical and non-surgical treatment will be of great help in treating patients with allergic rhinitis. Infrared-C (far-infrared) ray irradiation is able to promote normal operation of autonomic nervous system, to improve blood circulation and thereby assumed to relieve discomfort symptoms of patients with vascular, specific or non-specific allergic rhinitis. Consequently, infrared-C ray irradiation is expected to be effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. The investigators aimed to probe the adjunct effects of infrared-C ray irradiation in terms of infrared-C hot compress in improving allergy symptoms like sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, nose and conjunctiva itching during a medical treatment for patients with allergic rhinitis. Moreover, the impact of infrared-C irradiation on health and life quality enhancement will also be studied.
Primary Objectives: - To demonstrate that the aggravation of seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms in the presence of pollutants is observed using an Environmental Exposure Unit. - To evaluate the efficacy of fexofenadine hydrochloride in subjects suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms aggravated in the presence of diesel exhaust particulates. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety of a single dose of fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg.
4week, a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blinded, Parallel, Therapeutic confirmatory Clinical Trial
The trial aims to demonstrate efficacy of the House Dust Mite SLIT-tablet versus placebo as add-on treatment in children and adolescents (5-17 years) with House Dust Mite allergic asthma based on clinically relevant asthma worsening.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common Ig-E mediated disease of nasal mucosa, induced by an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated reaction in the allergen-sensitized subjects, affecting 10% to 40% of the world population. AR could be divided into two kinds, perennial AR and seasonal AR (SAR). Allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only etiological treatment available for AR. Traditionally, AIT is divided into 2 types, subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), both of which are effective and safe alternatives. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. 72 eligible SAR patients, who were sensitized to sweet sagewort (artemisia annua), were enrolled into the trial, followed by either a 32-week SLIT schedule, where the maintenance dose would be reached within 5 weeks, or placebo SLIT schedule. Standardized depot preparations of sweet sagewort (artemisia annua) extract (Zhejiang Wolwo Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., China ) were administered by means of sublingual drops.
In respiratory allergy patients, skin prick test results of local rat and mouse allergen extracts are not significant different from imported ones
IgE-associated allergy is a hypersensitivity disease affecting more than 25% of the population in industrialised countries. The recognition of allergen by immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a central role in the cause of allergic diseases. Both seasonal and nasal provocation studies have demonstrated the rise in specific IgE after allergen exposure. Additionally changes in other clinical and immunological parameters (e.g. nasal blockage, mast cell and basophil sensitivity, various cytokines or T cell profiles) in response to allergen exposure have been described. However the time sensitive interplay of these various factors such as the relationship between rise in IgE levels and change in basophils sensitivity or cytokine profiles is not yet fully understood. Clarifying how these various factors interact and contribute to immunological responses to allergen, is crucial for the development of new therapeutic approaches. The investigators aim to address these questions through a study following 36 Birch allergic patients after provocation with allergen or placebo over a peroid of 6 weeks to 1 year.
