ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring whether a special type of water called Shan Shang Water, which contains hydrogen ions, can help adults with allergic rhinitis, a condition that causes symptoms like sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, and itchy eyes. The researchers want to find out if drinking this water can reduce these allergy symptoms and if it affects certain markers in the immune system. To do this, some participants will drink Shan Shang Water while others will drink a placebo, which is just a sugar water that doesn't have any active ingredients, for 24 weeks.

Participants in the trial should be between 18 and 65 years old and experience moderate to severe allergic rhinitis symptoms that significantly affect their daily lives. They will need to keep a diary of their symptoms and visit the clinic every four weeks for check-ups and tests. It's important to note that certain individuals, such as pregnant women and those with specific health conditions like liver or heart disease, won’t be able to participate. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it represents an exciting opportunity to explore a new potential treatment for a common allergy condition.
