Effect of combining histaglobulin with antihistamines in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria in a tertiary care hospital setting- a randomized trial

“`html

Study Overview

This study focuses on Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU), a condition that greatly impacts patients’ quality of life. It compares the effectiveness of a treatment combining histaglobulin and antihistamine (bilastine) against using antihistamine alone.

Trial Details

The trial was conducted at a dermatology outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital from September 2023 to August 2024. A total of 57 participants, aged over 18 with CSU symptoms lasting more than 6 weeks, were involved. They were divided into two groups:

  • Group 1: Received histaglobulin injections weekly along with daily bilastine (27 participants).
  • Group 2: Received only bilastine daily (30 participants).

Results

After 6 weeks, the results showed that:

  • The group receiving histaglobulin and bilastine had an 89.9% reduction in symptoms.
  • The group receiving bilastine alone had a 59.4% reduction.

This indicates that the combination treatment is significantly more effective (p < 0.01) and leads to faster symptom relief starting from Week 2.

Laboratory Findings

Participants receiving the combination treatment also showed lower levels of serum IgE and absolute eosinophil count, suggesting better management of allergic responses. Importantly, no adverse effects were reported, confirming the safety of this therapy.

Practical Healthcare Solutions

Based on the trial data, the following opportunities and goals can be identified:

  • Measurable Outcomes: Focus on reducing UAS scores and improving patient quality of life.
  • Clear Goals: Aim for faster symptom relief and better disease control in CSU patients.
  • AI Tools: Select AI solutions that can assist in tracking patient progress and managing treatment plans effectively.
  • Implementation: Start with a pilot project to monitor results and expand based on findings.
