INCS/INAH: Concomitant Intranasal Antihistamine and Corticosteroid in Stepwise Treatment Strategy for Allergic Rhinitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with perennial allergic rhinitis whose symptoms are not controlled (visual analogue scale [VAS] ≥5) by 2-week treatment with intranasal corticosteroid will receive concomitant intranasal antihistamine and corticosteroid for 2 weeks. After 2-week treatment, changes in clinical parameters including VAS, total nasal symptom score (TNSS), total ocular symptom score (TOSS), rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life questionnaires (RQLQ) will be evaluated.

Detailed Description
Patients with perennial allergic rhinitis whose symptoms are not controlled (visual analogue scale [VAS] ≥5) by 2-week treatment with intranasal corticosteroid will receive concomitant intranasal antihistamine and corticosteroid. In addition to VAS, total nasal symptom score (TNSS), total ocular symptom score (TOSS), rhinoconjunctivitis quality-of-life questionnaires (RQLQ) will be measured before treatment (baseline) and 2 week after treatment. The differences between parameters before treatment and those after 2-week treatment will be statistically analyzed using paired student t test, and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
