Scientists probe genetic roots of Cold-Triggered hives
NCT ID NCT00887939
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some people develop hives from physical triggers like cold, pressure, or sunlight. Researchers will test participants' skin reactions and collect blood and genetic samples to understand the role of immune cells and genes. The goal is to uncover the underlying causes of these conditions, which could lead to safer and more effective treatments in the future.
