Filter by:The aim of this clinical study is to compare the efficacy of Elonide Nasal Spray to Nasonex Nasal Spray and Placebo (non-active ingredient) in the management of allergic rhinitis. There are two hypotheses of this study: 1. Elonide nasal spray is same efficacy to Nasonex nasal spray. 2. Elonide nasal spray is more efficient to placebo.
In allergic rhinitis patients with severe symptoms, control of severe allergic reactions is limited with saline nasal irrigation. Therefore, there have been several attempts to use saline nasal irrigation in combination with other treatments to treat allergic rhinitis. This study tries to explore the effect of nasal irrigation with Chinese herbal medicines on allergic rhinitis.
Rhinitis is defined clinically as having two or more symptoms of anterior or posterior rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal blockage and/or itching of the nose during two or more consecutive days for more than 1 h on most days. Allergic rhinitis is diagnosed when these symptoms are caused by allergen exposure leading to an IgE mediated reaction. The inflammatory mediators produced because of this IgE mediated reaction causes the classical symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Nerve irritation causes sneezing and itching, the loss of mucosal integrity causes rhinorrhea, and the vascular engorgement leads to nasal blockage. Based on the nasal symptoms the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in the Indian population is 20-30%. Allergic rhinitis significantly affects the quality of life, it contributes to missed or unproductive time at school or work, disturbed sleep pattern and daytime somnolence. The most popular and widely accepted treatment strategy for allergic rhinitis is pharmacotherapy, this includes antihistamines, leukotriene receptor antagonist and intranasal corticosteroids. These medical modalities are symptomatically effective in mild cases, with temporary relief and addressable adverse effects. Prolonged treatment with allergy immunotherapy causes a sustainable financial burden while remaining inaccessible at smaller towns. Rhinorrhea is a frequent symptom reported amongst patients with allergic and vasomotor rhinitis. Most of these patients usually respond well to medical treatment. Indications for surgical treatment are warranted only when medical treatment fails, or a patient wants a permanent solution. In 1961, Golding-Wood first described vidian neurectomy for the treatment of allergic and vasomotor rhinitis. There was a high incidence of post-operative complications, such as disturbed lacrimal secretion and numbness of the cheek and gums. In 2007, Kikawada reported an endoscopic technique involving resection of the posterior nasal nerve near the sphenopalatine artery. With this technique, any intra-operative bleeding can be controlled under direct vision. In 2008, Ikeda et al. described submucosal reduction of the inferior turbinate and resection of the posterior nasal nerve. This resulted in significant improvements in nasal symptoms for patients with resistant chronic rhinitis (rhinorrhea). The posterior nasal nerve is a peripheral branch of the sphenopalatine ganglion. It enters the nasal cavity through a separate foramen, 4-5 mm below the sphenopalatine foramen, after bifurcation of the nerve into the lacrimal nerve. The posterior superior nasal nerves innervate the superior and middle turbinates, and the superior and middle meatus. Other parasympathetic nerve fibres of the nose branch off and joins the greater palatine nerve and enters the nasal cavity through the canaliculi in the perpendicular plate of the palatine bone as the posterior inferior nasal nerves. These nerves innervate the inferior turbinate and the inferior meatus.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exercise at different temperatures on nasal blood flow and symptoms in allergic rhinitis patients.
The purpose of this post market clinical investigation is to demonstrate that Healsea® Babykids alleviates symptoms of the acute rhinitis phase with better efficacy than isotonic saline solution used as Placebo in children above 2 years.
The purpose of this study was to determine the acute effect of high intensity interval exercise on respiratory function and rhinitis symptoms in allergic rhinitis patients.
At present, most studies mainly focussed on severe patients, and there was no comparison of symptom differences between AR patients and healthy people with mild infection to evaluate the symptoms of AR patients during infection and to provide preventive treatment in advance. So this experiment was designed.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a disorder that affects more than 500 million people worldwide. Nasal congestion is one of the most general and bothersome symptoms in rhinitis, which affects the quality of life (QOL). Current medications are undesirable due to their side-effects. Acupuncture for AR in general can be considered as safe and can be seen as a potential remedial blueprint for nasal congestion. Evidence supported that acupuncture is clinically used for signs and symptoms of nose disorders, such as nasal congestion, with effectiveness, but whether acupuncture has immediate, post-treatment and long-term effects on nasal congestion in AR is not verified by strictly designed clinical study. The ANCAR trial uses a standard treatment protocol with a fixed set of acupuncture points - to be as scientific as possible from Western medical viewpoint - to open the nose and affect underlying energetic imbalance and immunity at the same time, to maintain its nose opening effect. This novel acupuncture treatment protocol can be seen as a solid and profound approach from which every AR patient may benefit.
This study was to investigate the comparison among acute effects of various aerobic exercise on symptoms in allergic rhinitis patients.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pilates training on symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis.
