Active clinical trials for "Rhinitis"

Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG)-acupuncture has been shown to exhibit distinct effects in treatment of nasal inflammatory disease. Investigators aimed to assess the effects of SPG acupuncture in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial enrolled participants with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either active SPG-acupuncture group or sham-acupuncture group. All participants will be provided four times of acupuncture in 4 weeks, and then follow-up of 4 week. Primary trial outcomes are change in symptoms and change in need for medication. The primary outcomes will be measured in baseline, week1, week2, week3, week4, week 6 and week 8. Secondary outcomes include the changes in nasal patency (nasal airway resistance and nasal cavity volume), exhaled nasal nitric oxide.The investigators also evaluate change in neuropeptides (substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide,neuropeptide Y) and inflammatory cytokines (interleukin(IL)-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-17a, IL-22, IL-25, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3,Chemokine, Eotaxin) in nasal secretions as secondary outcomes. The secondary outcomes will be measured in baseline, week1, week4 and week 8.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of short ragweed pollen allergen extract (MK-3641, SCH 039641, RAGWITEK™) sublingual immunotherapy tablets in children aged 5 to 17 years with ragweed-induced allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma. The primary hypothesis of this study is that administration of short ragweed pollen allergen extract sublingual immunotherapy tablets to children 5 to 17 years of age, compared with placebo, will result in a significant reduction in the combination of rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and medication use over the peak ragweed season (RS).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Hyeonggaeyeongyo-Tang for chronic rhinitis according to pattern identification in Korean medicine.

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of 12 months of treatment with 300 IR of STG320 sublingual tablets compared with placebo in adults and adolescents with HDM-associated allergic rhinitis.

To determine the effect of Montelukast in Asthma and Allergic rhinits patients

The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of intralymphatic allergen-specific immunotherapy given to adolescents and young adults who are allergic to grass or birch pollen and have mild or moderate asthma. Patients will be treated with three intralymphatic injections; 1000 SQ-U x3 with 4-5 weeks interval, or placebo with 4-5 weeks interval. The patients receiving treatment will be given a fourth injection one year after the initial injections. The study is conducted in collaboration between Professor Lars Olof Cardell (ENT), prof Gunilla Hedlin (Pediatrics) and prof Marianne van Hage (Immunology)".

A single and multiple dose study to assess the safety of JNJ 38224342 compared to placebo in healthy volunteers and in volunteers with seasonal allergies.

The prevalence of allergic rhinitis is high and appears to be rising worldwide. Therefore, it is important and necessary to understand and visualize therapy effects on this disease. In this study we will demonstrate the effect of levocetirizine on nasal cavity dimensions by assessing not only standard nasal flow diagnostics such as rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry, but supplement exami¬nation procedures with long-term rhinometry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With the aid of a virtual model and computer fluid dynamics, we are able to simulate nasal air flow and provide three-dimensional visualization of the computed flow. In previous trials ([Bachert], [deBlic], [Day] and [Deruaz]) it has been shown that allergic symptoms, especially nasal congestion, diminish significantly under treatment with levocetirizine. We will demonstrate this anti-obstructive effect by comparing the reaction to nasal allergen challenge before and after four-week treatment with levocetirizine.

The purpose of this study is to examine safety and efficacy of Patanase and Astelin in treating the symptoms of non-allergic vasomotor rhinitis (VMR).

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of cluster immunotherapy with highly polymerized allergen extracts.
