METHODS: In a Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials compliant framework, patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis were prospectively randomised to receive mometasone nasal spray for four weeks or the same topical corticosteroid therapy plus commercially available oral quail egg and zinc tablets.
RESULTS: Forty patients were enrolled. The mometasone + quail egg and zinc tablets group showed a greater reduction in nasal itching, sneezing and total nasal symptom scores than the mometasone nasal spray only group. A higher proportion of participants in the mometasone + quail egg and zinc tablets group had good rhinitis control than in the mometasone nasal spray only group, with no need for rescue medications.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the need for a further larger study, quail egg preliminarily appears to be an effective adjunct to topical steroid therapy in seasonal allergic rhinitis.
方法:在符合合并报告标准的试验框架中,季节性过敏性鼻炎患者被随机分组,接受莫米松鼻喷雾剂治疗4周,或接受相同的局部皮质类固醇治疗加市售口服鹌鹑蛋和锌片.
结果:纳入40例患者。莫米松+鹌鹑蛋和锌片组鼻痒减轻幅度较大,喷嚏和鼻部症状总评分优于莫米松鼻喷剂组。莫米松+鹌鹑蛋和锌片组的参与者比例高于仅莫米松鼻喷雾剂组的参与者,不需要救护药物.
结论:尽管需要进一步的更大规模的研究,鹌鹑蛋初步看来是季节性过敏性鼻炎局部类固醇治疗的有效辅助手段。
