ULS De Castelo Branco E.P.E.

The department of Immunoallergology at ULS De Castelo Branco E.P.E. focuses on treating allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma caused by grass and olive pollen. Clinical studies aim to evaluate the effectiveness of allergen immunotherapy in reducing symptoms and medication use.

• Grass pollen immunotherapy
• Olive pollen immunotherapy
• Combined symptom‑medication scoring via mobile application
• Placebo‑controlled efficacy assessment

These investigations provide new options for patients suffering from pollen‑induced respiratory allergies and support evidence‑based care at the Castelo Branco site.

Research in the Respiratory Tract Diseases area examines how targeted immunotherapy can improve outcomes for individuals with seasonal allergic rhinitis and controlled asthma. Trials compare active treatment to placebo and measure changes in allergen sensitivity after the pollen season.

• Evaluation of symptom reduction during peak pollen periods
• Assessment of allergen threshold in controlled provocation tests
• Use of digital health tools for daily symptom monitoring
• Long‑term safety and tolerability of allergen extracts

The findings aim to enhance therapeutic strategies for allergy sufferers across Europe, with the Castelo Branco clinic contributing valuable real‑world data.
