Objective:
To investigate the effects of resistance exercise on nasal and eye symptoms, quality of life, and levels of inflammatory markers in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Study Design:
A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Setting:
Conducted at a single tertiary care center.
Methods:
A total of 156 patients with allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into a resistance exercise group and a control group for a 6-month intervention. Changes in nasal symptom scores, eye symptom scores, quality of life scores, and serum IL-4, IL-6, and IgE levels were evaluated.
Results:
The resistance exercise group showed significantly greater improvement in nasal and eye symptoms, quality of life, and reduction in inflammatory markers compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Resistance exercise significantly improved symptoms and quality of life in patients with allergic rhinitis, showing promising clinical potential as an important adjunctive treatment.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
