Active clinical trials for "Rhinitis"

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) in chronic rhinitis (CR) patients by comparing patient reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) , peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) , and levels of Type 2 cytokines pre- and post-procedure.

WHO recommend to divide AR into 4 subgroups according to the symptom frequency (intermittent or persistent) and severity (mild or moderate-to-severe). For the persistent moderate-to-severe AR subgroup, the guideline suggests to treat with intranasal corticosteroid (INS) plus antihistamines (AH1) for 2-4 weeks. If the symptom is controlled then degrade the treatment (usually with INS) and maintenance for more than 4 weeks. However, up to 70% of patients suffering from AR do not follow treatment recommendation, they stopped medication when they feel better. This behavior always leads to uncontrolled AR, which has been identified as a high-risk factor of induction and exacerbation of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis. A recent survey showed that AR patients prefer to an on-demand treatment rather than continuous treatment. In general, poor adherence is always a considerable issue for all long-term treatments. Previous studies have shown that as dosing frequency increases, the adherence rate decreases. Thus, less medication frequency is an important factor to optimize the management of chronic diseases including AR. Intranasal AH1 can relieve AR symptoms including sneezing, rhinorrhea and nasal itching in 3 to 5 minutes, while INS can inhibit the underlying mucous allergic inflammation and is recommended as the first-line medication for moderate-to-severe AR. INS combined AH1 have shown a synergic effect on control AR inflammation and provide rapid AR symptom relief. Investigators hypothesis that the on-demand administration of INS combined AH1 can achieve similar AR control level with less dosing frequency as compared to the daily INS maintenance in controlled moderate-to-severe AR patients.

The NEUROMARK Registry Study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, post-market, interventional registry study to collect real-world evidence of the NEUROMARK System in subjects with chronic rhinitis.

The investigators is now carrying out a clinical study of Umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UCMSCs) in the treatment of Allergic rhinitis (AR). UCMSCs is known to its multilineage differentiation potential, strong proliferation ability, low immunogenicity, convenient material acquisition, and fewer restrictions on ethical and moral issues. The investigators hope to find a novel, minimally invasive, effective and simple treatment for the large number of patients with persistent moderate to severe AR.

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.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects large population worldwide, the most commonly used medication include anti-histamine, nasal spray and anti-LTRAs inhibitors (leukotriene receptor antagonists), Even after those first-line treatment, there is still a large number of patient (~20%) are not well/adequately controlled. Anti-IgE antibody has been approved to treat moderate to severe AR by PMDA/Japan in 2020, demonstrating the efficacy of IgE blockade in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. The current study presents a novel anti-IgE antibody (LP-003) with higher affinity to IgE, stronger efficacy and longer half-life.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a non-infectious chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa mainly mediated by immunoglobulin E after exposure to allergens in atopic individuals. The typical symptoms of AR are paroxysmal sneezing, watery rhinorrhea, itching, and nasal congestion, which may be accompanied by ocular symptoms, including eye itching, tearing, redness, and burning sensation, which are more common in patients with hay fever allergies. Bronchial asthma is associated with bronchial asthma in 40% of patients with AR, suggesting a comorbid feature of allergic disease.

Allergic diseases, including allergic reactions of respiratory tract and skin, are often triggered by mast cell degranulation mediated by allergen-specific IgE and chronic inflammation of target organs, which are involved in a variety of immune cells and inflammatory factors. Recent studies have shown that intestinal immunity is closely related to immune responses to various diseases. Intestinal microecology influences the occurrence and regression of various diseases by regulating the growth, differentiation and maturation of various immune cells. Probiotics are widely used in children with allergies. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the intestinal microecology of children with rhinitis/asthma, eczema and urticaria and the clinical manifestations of the patients. By observing the influence of probiotics intervention on clinical symptoms and changes in intestinal microecology, the influence of intestinal microecology on children's allergic diseases was clarified. Study protocol: 1) children with definitive diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, asthma，atopic dermatitis and chronic urticaria were enrolled, each with 50 cases. 2) collect manure application of 16s rDNA probe hybridization technique to analyze the fecal flora, and compared with clinical symptoms rating scale and serum sIgE, IgG4 correlation analysis (3) application of probiotic intervention or conventional drug intervention, again in 3 months, 6 months after collecting dung is used to detect the intestinal flora in children with its correlation with clinical symptoms change were observed.

Rhinitis medicamentosa (RM) is a form of non-allergic medication-induced rhinitis characterised by nasal congestion. This nasal congestion is the result of the overuse of intranasal decongestants which leads to rebound congestion when the medication wears off. This prompts the user of the nasal decongestant to administer more in order to obtain relief from the feeling of a blocked nose. Therefore, the patient ends up in a vicious cycle caused and temporarily relieved by the use of medication.The diagnosis of rhinitis medicamentosa depends greatly on the history of prolonged use of the nasal decongestant, since real diagnostic criteria have not yet been established. It is unclear if these patients suffer from an underlying (undetected and/or untreated) nasal condition which might have caused the patient to start using the nasal decongestant in the first place. Therefore, the aim of the first part of this study (Part A) is to characterize patients with long-term use of nasal decongestants to examine if an underlying nasal condition is present. The investigators will include healthy volunteers in part A of the study to be able to compare their test results with those of patients with long-term use of nasal decongestants and hence be able to detect differences. Thus far, the treatment of RM has been the topic of debate. Several treatment regimens have been proposed in literature, but most study authors agree that it is essential to stop the overuse of the nasal decongestant either immediately or gradually to limit withdrawal symptoms. For this part of the study (Part B: intervention study), the investigators aim to reduce the long-term use of nasal decongestants based on a structured withdrawal programme comprising medication (nasal corticosteroid spray) and motivational interviewing. Only patients with long-term use of nasal decongestants are eligible to participate in this part of the study. They will be rescreened prior to inclusion into this part of the study.

A national, multicenter, randmised double blind study with parallell arms. 360 patients with grass induced allergic rhinitis will be open randomised 1:2 to 3 years Grazax sublingual immunotherapy or 3 intralymphatic injections with ALK Alutard Timothy. In a second step, the ILIT group will be double blind randomised 1:1 to an intramuscular injection of Vitamin D Vicotrat or placebo, 4 week before the start of the intralymphatic treatment. The primary outcome measure is daily combined symptoms and medication scores during grass pollen season.
