Summary

This trial asks whether adding a Mediterranean diet or a low-histamine diet to standard care can reduce disease activity and improve quality of life in teens aged 12-18 with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a condition causing persistent hives. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard treatment alone, standard treatment plus a low-histamine diet, or standard treatment plus a Mediterranean diet. The dietary phase lasts four weeks, with follow-up at eight weeks to assess changes in hive severity, disease control, and quality of life.
