NCT ID NCT07532837
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking oral probiotics can reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and improve quality of life. Researchers will give probiotics to 225 people aged 6 to 65 with diagnosed allergic rhinitis and measure changes in nasal symptoms, inflammation markers, and gut bacteria. The goal is to see if probiotics can help balance the immune system and ease allergy discomfort.
