ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how traditional medicine describes the symptoms of urticaria, which is a skin condition that causes itchy hives. The research will take place at Le Van Thinh Hospital in Vietnam and aims to understand how common these traditional medicine syndromes are among patients with urticaria, as well as how they relate to the severity of itching. By gathering information from around 200 participants, the study hopes to find patterns that can improve the way we understand and treat this condition.

To be eligible for the study, participants need to be at least 15 years old and have been diagnosed with either acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) urticaria. They also need to be willing to participate and give their consent. However, people with other skin conditions or those currently taking specific medications that could affect their symptoms will not be included. The study is approved by a review board to ensure it meets safety standards, and it is set to run from December 2024 to April 2025. Participants can expect to share their experiences and symptoms, which will help researchers learn more about urticaria and how traditional medicine might be integrated into its treatment.
