Navigating the Treatment Landscape of Chronic Urticaria

This research explores the challenges of managing chronic urticaria, a persistent skin condition characterized by hives. It examines the use of nonbiologic treatments for patients who do not respond to antihistamines, also known as "antihistamine-refractory" chronic urticaria. The study highlights the need for alternative treatment options as omalizumab, the primary guideline-recommended drug, may have limited effectiveness, side effects, or be inaccessible. The authors conduct a systematic review of published evidence on nonbiologic treatments, providing a comprehensive overview of their efficacy and safety. The research emphasizes the importance of identifying effective and safe treatment strategies for patients with chronic urticaria, particularly those who do not respond well to conventional therapies.
