Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a noninfectious inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) after exposure to allergens. Artemisia annua is one of the most important allergen that is responsible for seasonal AR in China during July and October. Allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only etiological treatment available for AR. The trial is a randomized, Open label, multicentred trial. A total of 150 subjects with allergic rhinitis caused by Artemisia pollen were recruited and randomized to the immunotherapy group and conversation drugs group.
Interventions
Name:
AIT drops
Type:
DRUG
Description:
Once a day
Name:
Clarityne, Rhinocort and Emedastine Difumarate Eye Drops
Type:
DRUG
Description:
The following drugs were permitted as allergy symptoms-relieving medications according to the actual needs in groups: Clarityne, Rhinocort and Emedastine Difumarate Eye Drops, Once a day
Primary Outcomes
Measure:
Change from baseline symptom scores
TimeFrame:
Visit 0: at baseline; Visit 1: at the first year of the high pollen stage; Visit 2: at the second year of the high pollen stage; Visit 3: at ending of 2 years treatment; Visit 4: at the third year of the high pollen stage.
Description:
Symptom change before and after treatment was estimated by Visual analogue scale(VAS) symptom score. The VAS symptom scores ranged from 0 (asymptomatic) to 10 (very severe). Four nasal symptoms (itching, sneezing, rhinorrhoea and nasal obstruction) and two ocular symptoms (ocular itch and watery eyes) were included.
Measure:
the change of rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ)
TimeFrame:
Visit 0: at baseline; Visit 1: at the first year of the high pollen stage; Visit 2: at the second year of the high pollen stage; Visit 3: at ending of 2 years treatment; Visit 4: at the third year of the high pollen stage.
Description:
RQLQ score includes 7 aspects and 28 items: nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, non nasal and eye symptoms, behavior problems, sleep, daily activities and emotional reactions. It adopts a 0-6 point design. Among the emotional reactions, 0 point: none at any time; 1 point, not at any time; 2 points, occasionally; 3 points, sometimes; 4 points, often; 5 points, most of the time; 6 points, all the time; In other items: 0 point, not troubled; 1 point, hardly disturbed; 2 points, occasionally troubled; 3 points, moderate distress; 4 points, quite troubled; 5 points, very troubled; 6 points, extremely troubled.
