Active clinical trials for "Common Cold"

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerance and efficacy of two Stérimar nasal sprays products in children who have nasal congestion due to the common cold.

The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of Azéol Spray Nasal, taken two times a day, versus placebo on nasal congestion in subject with common cold.

OBOE is a prospective, pilot, parallel group RCT with the overall aim of examining the effect of a single dose of anti-IgE (omalizumab) vs. placebo administered at the onset of URIs in the fall season among highly exacerbation-prone, urban, and atopic youth aged 6-17 years with persistent asthma. OBOE will recruit and randomize participants over 3 years (3 annual cohorts of participants). Recruitment for each of the yearly cohorts of OBOE will begin in February. Each cohort will be followed for a 2-6-month run-in period with the objective to gain control of each participant's asthma and to stabilize the required controller medication step level. Participants will receive routine asthma care every 1-2 months (a total of 2-4 times) during run-in using a previously described algorithm developed by the Inner-city Asthma Consortium and successfully employed in the PROSE study. The primary outcome is the change in the amount of nasal IFN-α recovered by nasal fluid absorption between two time points, within 72 hours of onset of a URI as defined by onset of (or substantial worsening of) rhinorrhea, nasal congestion or sneezing (single or multiple symptoms) and 3-6 days after study drug injection.

The purpose of this study to determine the therapeutic response of non-allergic rhinitis patients that have been subtyped as non-allergic rhinitis with local IgE elevation or non-allergic rhinopathy to intranasal capsaicin based on visual analog scale and optical rhinometry, to determine the prevalence of non-allergic rhinitis with local IgE elevation in this study's cohort of patients with non-allergic rhinitis identified by rhinitis history and negative skin testing for allergic rhinitis, and to determine the change, if any, in intranasal IgE levels after capsaicin treatment.

The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study medical device plus standard of care versus standard of care in subjects between 3 and 48 months (inclusive) presenting symptoms of a common cold.

The purpose of this pre-market clinical investigation is to assess the safety and the performance of decongestant seawater spray pocket valve enriched with essential oils by Gilbert Laboratories. The study will evaluate the results of acute rhinitis associated with nasal obstruction using the decongestant seawaterspray pocket valve enriched with essential oils over a 8 day period.

The goal of this multi-method study including a randomized control trial and qualitative interviews is to see how useful blogshots (an image that summarizes information) are at helping parents increase their knowledge and manage their expectations for common acute childhood conditions (e.g. sore throat, ear infection) with respect to Choosing Wisely Canada recommendations. Participants will be randomly assigned to Group A or Group B in this study. Group A will receive three of six blogshots over a 4-week period (a different blogshot will be sent by email to them each week for three weeks, then in the final week they will receive the same three blogshots in one summary email to review). Group B will receive the other three of six blogshots, following the same email sequence and timing. All participants from both groups will be asked to complete one baseline questionnaire at the start of the study and a follow-up questionnaire at week 5, month 3 and month 6 about different common acute childhood conditions, the blogshots and their content. All participants also have the option to participate in an optional semi-structured interview to give their thoughts on the blogshots and their experience in the study. Researchers will compared each participant's baseline score to their follow up scores to see if there was a change in their knowledge and expectations. By developing and evaluating evidence-based Choosing Wisely Canada resources, the researchers aim to make it easier for parents to choose wisely. Empowering parents to be part of conversations with their child's healthcare provider can improve health decision-making and reduce health system costs.

The purpose with this study is to investigate the preventative effect of a supplement containing a combination of probiotic bacteria and fungi as well as zinc on the common cold. The hypothesis is that it will shorten the duration, alleviate the severity of symptoms or even decrease the number of infectons during the intervention period. This study is a randomzed placebo controlled human study were healthy adults will consume the supplement for three months.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human interferon ω spray in treatment of viral upper respiratory tract infection in children aged by 3-12 years, and to explore the appropriate usage and dosage of the drug in treatment of upper respiratory tract infection caused by viruses.
