Active clinical trials for "Rhinitis"

To determine the Effectiveness of Montelukast Versus Intranasal Fluticasone Propionate in the Management of Allergic Rhinitis Among Children 02 to 05 Years of Age.

The study will be conducted in two phases. First phase will be 16 weeks study to assess the safety, efficacy & to determine the most appropriate dose. Will consist of following visits. Phase II (Extended Follow-up): At the end of Day 112, an interim analysis will be conducted to assess the sustained efficacy of the investigational product and accordingly the study will enter into phase II.

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) play an important role in asthma. CysLTs exert most of their bronchoconstrictive and pro-inflammatory effects through activation of the CysLT1-r. As allergic rhinitis appears to be a predisposing factor in the development of asthma and as CysLT-receptors seem to be implicated in the first steps of asthma manifestations, we think it would be of interest to determine if the CysLT1-r is a key mediator in the progression from allergic rhinitis to asthma. We believe it would be interesting to study the expression of the CysLT1-r Our goal is to assess baseline, as well as variations following allergen bronchoprovocations, in the expression of the CysLT1-r in mild asthmatic subjects compared with non asthmatic subjects with allergic rhinitis. Our hypothesis is that there will be a higher baseline expression of the CysLT1-r in asthmatic subjects compared with allergic rhinitis subjects and that allergen bronchoprovocations will induce an increase in the expression of the CysLT1-r in both groups.

Dymista, a combined product containing the antihistamine azelastine and the intranasal steroid fluticasone, provides superior clinical efficacy to both fluticasone propionate and azelastine hydrochloride in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis. The superiority of efficacy not only occurs at the initiation of treatment, but persists for its duration. The mechanism underlying the superior efficacy of Dymista is not known. This trial focuses on examining the effects of Dymista on the dynamics of the allergic response in man using nasal provocation with antigen. The investigators will study the relationship between symptoms, physiology, cells and mediators.

Rhinitis is inflammation of the inside of the nose. Symptoms of rhinitis include itchiness, sneezing, and a "runny" nose (rhinorrhea). There are many different causes for rhinitis, including allergies, age, different irritants in the air, overacting nervous system, and others. Many current treatments for rhinitis are not helpful or are unable to be used for long periods of time. Capsaicin ("Kap-Sey-Uh-Sin") is a natural product that is found in many spicy foods, including hot peppers. This natural product has been used as a lotion to prevent pain, and scientists have found that it may reduce the symptoms of rhinitis when used as a spray in the nose. However, capsaicin is known to cause a burning sensation. This study is needed so we can figure out what doses of capsaicin cause this burning sensation, and to what level these doses cause discomfort. Capsaicin can also cause a small degree of tearing from the eyes when used as a spray in the nose, and can also cause the nose to become "runny" (rhinorrhea). When the safest dose of capsaicin spray is found, that dose can be used to treat people with rhinitis that is not getting better from standard treatments.

This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the compliance of allergic rhinitis patients towards intranasal steroids between those who use mobile daily alarm reminder and those who do not.

To evaluate the therapeutic equivalence of a test formulation of Azelastine hydrochloride and Fluticasone propionate Nasal Spray to the reference listed drug, Dymista™ Nasal Spray in the relief of the signs and symptoms of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis.

This is a double-blind study with respect to the diluents used, with patients known to be allergic to the specific allergen tested. Three study sites will be involved, each testing one allergen (Cat, Mite, Timothy grass pollen). Subjects who are known to be allergic to the allergen in question will be tested with serial three-fold dilutions to determine the ID 50 and relative extract potency using the method described by Turkeltaub.

The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of allergens and/or diesel exhaust particles in the nose to learn more about allergic responses in individuals with cat allergic rhinitis.

The aim of the study was to evaluate if there were differences in oral findings between patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma and a control group of health people.
