New allergy shot strategy aims to stop sneezing and sniffling for good
NCT ID NCT07269509
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving extra booster shots of allergy medicine directly into the tonsils can better control hay fever symptoms. About 276 adults with allergic rhinitis will receive either the standard three doses or additional boosters. Researchers will track symptom relief, medication use, and side effects to find the safest and most effective injection plan.
