Could your diet hold the key to taming chronic hives?

This study aims to understand if a person's diet and levels of 'oxidative stress' in their body are linked to how severe their chronic hives are and how well they respond to a standard treatment called omalizumab. Researchers will compare 58 adults with active chronic hives to 58 healthy adults, tracking their food intake and measuring stress markers in their blood. For the hives patients starting omalizumab, these measurements and symptom scores will be checked again after three months to see if changes occur.
