Filter by: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.
1. To compare the effectiveness of Prapchompoothaweep crude drug at 3,000 mg per day and Loratadine 10 mg per day for treatment in Allergic Rhinitis patients. (Clinical Trial Phase II) 2. To evaluate the safety and adverse effect of Prapchompoothaweep crude drug at 3,000 mg and Loratadine 10 mg for Allergic Rhinitis patients.
Pollen allergic rhinitis is a very common condition whose symptomatic treatment is not always sufficient or satisfactory. The indication for allergic immunotherapy (IT) therefore often arises. The indication is based on the interrogation of the patient (chronology and severity of symptoms) and skin tests. But the interrogation, necessarily retrospective, brings often vague information and skin tests can be positive for allergens that have no clinical role (cross allergies). The objective of the project is to help the clinician in the indication of the IT, on the one hand by setting up a prospective and computerized collection of symptoms by a computer logbook accessible by the mobile phone of the patient. on the other hand by performing on the patient's serum a molecular diagnosis allow the identification of the major allergens to which the patient is sensitized. The same study will be conducted in 7 centers in southern European countries in patients aged 10 to 60 years with pollinosis. The examinations added by the research will take place during two routine visits: during a first visit, these patients will answer a standardized questionnaire, have a battery of allergological skin tests and a blood sample for molecular diagnosis. An application will then be loaded on their mobile phone and they will record their symptoms and medication during the pollen season. During a second visit, at the end of the pollen season, the allergist, in view of the data collected in the electronic notebook and the results of the molecular diagnosis will be able to prescribe a possible IT.
Exposure to airborne allergens and pollutants is linked to symptom severity of allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. In this study an air purifier using photo-electrochemical oxidation technology (PECO) will be used in the home environment of study participants. The investigator will assess the reduction of symptoms from allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis and asthma.
