Randomized Evaluation of Ten Allergy Skin Prick Test Devices
Allergic RhinitisAsthma2 moreThe goal of this study is to compare ten current and readily available FDA approved allergy skin prick devices to determine the most sensitive and specific product and methods used for the diagnosis of allergic disease. The primary outcome will be to determine the analytical sensitivity and specificity of all ten skin prick devices by measuring wheal and flare response to histamine and control diluent in 1mm increments. Secondary outcomes include comparison of skin prick technique, optimum histamine concentration, patient comfort, reproducibility, and the comparability of high-resolution digital images.
Repurposed Use of Allergic Rhinitis and Allergic Asthma Drug to Reduce Vertigo and Hearing Loss...
Meniere DiseaseAllergic Rhinitis1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate a previously FDA-approved medication that is known to help with allergy symptoms to see if it can decrease symptoms in patients with Meniere's Disease.
Nasal Provocation Testing in Occupational Rhinitis
Allergic Rhinitis (Disorder)In a previous study the investigators found that many bakery workers were sensitized to storage mites, and many had rhinitis symptoms. The role of storage mites as an occupational allergen with clinical relevance has been questioned, and the investigators wanted to investigate whether a nasal provocation with a storage mite extract would trigger symptoms and objective signs of rhinitis in bakery workers and a control group.
The Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics of Children With Local Allergic Rhinitis
Other Allergic RhinitisTo determine prevalence of local allergic rhinitis (LAR) To evaluate clinical characteristic and severity of local allergic rhinitis To measure changing of tryptase and Specific IgE for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) after nasal allergen provocation test (NAPT)
Skin Prick Tests With AllerT in Subjects Allergic to Birch Pollen
Allergic RhinitisAssessment of skin reactivity by skin prick tests to synthetic peptides derived from the major birch allergen bet v 1, in subjects allergic to birch pollen.
Allergic Rhinitis Changes the Sinus Microbiome
Seasonal Allergic RhinitisThe investigators hypothesize that treatment with QNASL will reduce nasal mucosal inflammation induced by the allergy season and prevent the changes in the microbiome caused by the allergy season.
Titrated Quantitative Conjunctival Provocation Test (tqCPT)
Allergic RhinitisThe clinical relevance of an allergen-specific sensitization is proven e.g., by allergen challenge tests in clinical routine. Several protocols for different challenge tests such as nasal (NPT), bronchial (BPT) or conjunctival provocation test (CPT) have been proposed. Beneath others, the CPT is broadly used in both clinical trials and routine because of its feasibility. However, there is no internationally harmonized standard regarding the clinical interpretation of CPT results as well as a lack of validation of a specific outcome score. Therefore, this trial aims to investigate and validate a new scoring system for CPT results in order to provide this test as a useful method in future clinical trials.
Effect of Omalizumab (Xolair) in Treatment of Patients With AERD and Allergy Asthma
AsthmaAllergic RhinitisDouble blind protocol treatment of 2/3 of the patients with omalizumab and 1/3 placebo administer for 4 months. Patients selected for the study must have both aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease and allergic asthma and rhinitis. They must also have completed aspirin desensitization and be taking aspirin on a daily basis for the treatment of AERD.
Impact in Off-spring of Mothers After Perinatal Daily Intake of a Probiotic
AsthmaDermatitis4 moreA probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) supplement to pregnant women the last four weeks of pregnancy and three months after birth is expected to give a 40% reduction in risk of atopic sensitisation and allergic disease at two years of age, compared to placebo.
Biological Standardization of Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus Allergen Extract
Allergy Dermatophagoides PteronyssinusAllergic Rhinitis1 moreThe objective of this study is to determine the biologic activity of a Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergen extract in histamine equivalent prick (HEP) units, in order to be used as in-house reference preparation (IHRP).
