RhinitisAllergic1 moreThe purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy comparability of cetirizine and levocetirizine, by comparing the effects of single intake of the two drugs to placebo in reducing symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) in ragweed sensitive adult subjects exposed to ragweed pollen in an Environmental Exposure Unit.
The Effects of Phenylephrine Compared With Those of Placebo and Pseudoephedrine on Nasal Congestion...
RhinitisAllergic1 moreThis is a Phase 3, single-dose, investigator-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study, conducted at a single site in Austria, outside of the normal grass pollen season. An allergic reaction will be induced by exposing subjects to grass pollen in the Vienna Challenge Chamber (VCC). Subjects will receive a single dose of each of the following treatments according to a randomization sequence: Phenylephrine 12 mg immediate-release capsule, pseudoephedrine 60 mg immediate-release tablet, and placebo capsule. There will be a minimum of a 5-day washout period between each treatment. Subjects will complete symptom evaluations throughout the study. The nasal decongestant effects of phenylephrine will be compared to those of placebo using the subjective symptom evaluations. The safety profile (adverse events and vital signs) of the treatments will also be evaluated.
Dupilumab As An Adjunct For Subcutaneous Grass Immunotherapy
Allergic RhinitisThe primary objective is to assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) improves upon the efficacy of Timothy Grass SCIT to reduce provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract at week 17. The secondary objectives of the study are: To assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as compared to placebo reduces provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by TNSS after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract To assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as compared to dupilumab + SCIT reduces provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by TNSS after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract To assess changes in serum Timothy-grass-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), serum Timothy grass-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), and ratio of serum Timothy Grass-specific IgG4 to IgE over 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab + SCIT as compared to SCIT monotherapy To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass SCIT

RhinitisAllergic1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate (SCH 32088) aqueous nasal spray 200 mcg once daily compared to placebo once daily in the treatment of participants with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Flonase (fluticasone propionate) nasal spray 200 mcg once daily has been chosen as the active control for this study.
Yoga Training in Allergic Rhinitis Patients
Allergic RhinitisThe 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.
Effect of Health Promotion on Allergic Rhinitis by Infrared-C Ray Irradiation
Allergic RhinitisAllergic 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.
"Efficacy and Safety of Phlai Capsule Compared to Placebo as the Treatment in Allergic Rhinitis...
Allergic RhinitisBackground: Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., frequently known as Phlai in Thai, has been safely used as an antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory drug in Thai traditional medicine. Individual with allergic rhinitis may have positive response to Phlai. Objective: Investigators assessed the efficacy and safety of Phlai as a treatment for allergic rhinitis Design: The study was a 1-month, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, intent-to-treat, multicenter, controlled trial in 267 patients at 7 hospitals in Thailand. Skin prick test-positive adults with allergic rhinitis ages 18 to 50 who were randomized into 3 groups (Phlai 8mg/d, Phlai 4mg/d, placebo). Main outcome measures: Primary outcome was defined: improvement of total 5 symptoms scores (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, itchy nose, itchy eyes) over a 4-week interval among Phlai 8mg/d, Phlai 4mg/d and placebo. Secondary endpoints were: assessments of rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, peak inspiratory nasal flow, nasal examination, adverse events, AST, ALT, Creatinine and BUN over a period of 4 weeks.
