Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

This study evaluates blood type 2 innate lymphoid cells in participants with mild to moderate asthma and participants with chronic urticaria as compared to healthy adult participants.

Interoceptive complex sensations and fear beliefs resulting from cardiac risk factors or cardiovascular disease can further increase one's awareness and attention to bodily situations and cause differences in the interpretation of somatic sensations. These intraceptive somatic sensations may be the underlying factors for participation in exercise and compliance with exercise programs No Turkish questionnaire evaluating unpleasant sensations (Exercise sensitivity) was found. Exercise Sensitivity Questionnaire, which we planned to validate in our study, is a questionnaire developed by Samantha Farris et al. in 2020 to measure anxiety, exercise avoidance behavior and exercise sensitivity, which are frequently observed in individuals with heart disease.

This is a research study intending to look at the response of a specific type of allergy cells in the blood (called T cells) to a a type of immunotherapy product known as SPIREs (Synthetic Peptide Immuno-Regulatory Epitopes), across a broad range of subjects. This is a non-interventional study in which no investigational product will be administered to any subject.

The overall objective of this ancillary study is to obtain skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies from women with polycystic ovary syndrome enrolled in the PULSE Study (NCT01482286).

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalency of the skin test reactivity to penicilloate prepared by our new method of penicilloate preparation versus our old method of penicilloate preparation. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the significance of the different diastereoisomers of penicilloate on skin test reactivity.

This research is a study to test the reliability of Hyperpolarized Xenon MRI (HXe MRI) as a biomarker in interstitial lung disease. The study is a non-randomized study to evaluate the test-retest performance of HXe MRI in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (cHP) as a non-invasive biomarker of disease severity and prognosis. The study will include approximately 15 subjects with IPF, 15 subjects with cHP and 10 sex and age-matched normal controls performed across 3 sites.

This study will evaluate and follow patients with various allergic, hypersensitivity and inflammatory disorders. The protocol is not designed to test new treatments; patients will be managed with standard of care therapies. Participants may be referred to other current NIAID protocols as appropriate or to new studies as they are developed, but will not be required to join another study. Patients with allergic, hypersensitivity or inflammatory disorders between the ages of 3 years and 80 years may be eligible for this study. Conditions of interest include, but are not limited to, asthma, allergic rhinitis, mastocytosis, atopic dermatitis and food allergy. Participants will have a medical history and physical examination, plus standard tests for diagnosing and treating their specific disorder. Tests may include routine blood and urine studies, X-rays or other imaging studies, allergy skin tests and lung function tests. Blood samples may be collected for research on immune system cells and other substances involved in immune function. Generally, about 2 to 6 tablespoons will be drawn at a time, but no more than 16 ounces will be collected over a 6-week period. NIH does not provide emergency medical treatment or treatment for other, unrelated conditions the patient may have. Therefore, patients must maintain a personal physician for these purposes.

The main hypothesis of this study is that transcranial magnetic neuromodulation can correct the symptoms of hypersensitivity and bladder pain. The investigators assume that under the influence of transcranial magnetic stimulation, both the subjective state of patients assessed by standardized questionnaires and the objective parameters assessed by invasive and non-invasive urodynamic studies will be improved. In this study, two protocols for magnetic stimulation of the supplementary motor area (SMA) will be compared with each other and with placebo. The investigators expect to determine the dependence of the therapeutic effect on the applied stimulation protocol.

The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases in westernized countries poses a significant health problem and a tremendous burden on quality of life and healthcare expenditure. Food allergy affects as many as 6% of young children and 3% to 4% of adults. While the majority of children outgrow their allergy to milk, egg, wheat and soy, allergies to peanut, tree nuts, fish and shellfish are often life-long. Currently, there are no treatments that can cure or provide long-term remission from food allergy. Based on our preliminary studies, we hypothesize that our investigational botanical drug, FAHF-2TM, will be a safe and effective herbal therapy for food allergy. We are enrolling those age 12-45 yrs old with allergies to peanut, tree nuts, sesame, fish, and/or shellfish.

The purpose of this study is to assess cross-reactivity and tolerability of ertapenem in patients with IgE-mediated allergy to at least one beta-lactam molecule.
