Current Management of Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common allergic disease worldwide and one of the most common chronic diseases in general. Allergic rhinitis is caused by inhalant allergens from outdoor and indoor environments with varying signi fi cance of different allergens in global regions. We provide options for the current management for AR including pharmacological treatments and nonpharmacological options and allergen immunotherapy (AIT). A literature review has been conducted in Medline, Pubmed, as well as the national and international study (ClinicalTrials.gov) and guideline registers and the Cochrane Library. Human studies published on the topic in the period up to and including November 2023 were taken into account. Allergen avoidance measures, pharmacotherapy, and AIT are the cornerstones of AR treatment. Nonpharmacological measures and behavioral recommendations should be adequately added. Tools of precision medicine are already playing a signi fi cant role and will be part of the diagnostic and therapeutic standard in the future. Patients bene fi t most in a network of different pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatment measures including AIT. Application of precision medicine tools for diagnosis and treatment will improve standards of care. (c) 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
