Survey on the Characteristics of Traditional Medicine Syndromes in Urticaria Patients At Le Van Thinh Hospital

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of Traditional Medicine (TM) syndromes in urticaria patients at Le Van Thinh Hospital. Urticaria is a common dermatological condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. However, there is limited research on TM syndrome classification in this patient group. The study will collect data on symptoms, TM syndromes, and disease severity to determine common syndromes and their associations with clinical manifestations.

The study will be conducted as a cross-sectional, observational study with an estimated 200 participants. Eligible patients are those aged 18 years or older, diagnosed with acute or chronic urticaria, and willing to participate. The primary outcomes include the prevalence of TM syndromes, itching severity measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the correlation between TM syndromes and itching severity.

The study is approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and will be conducted from December 2024 to April 2025 at Le Van Thinh Hospital, Vietnam.

Primary outcomes

Prevalence of Traditional Medicine Syndromes in Urticaria Patients

Time frame: At the time of patient enrollment (Baseline assessment, within the first visit)

The study aims to determine the prevalence of Traditional Medicine (TM) syndromes in patients diagnosed with acute or chronic urticaria. Patients will be classified based on TM diagnostic criteria, including Blood Heat generating Wind, Blood Stagnation generating Wind, and Blood Deficiency generating Dry Wind. The percentage of patients presenting with each syndrome will be calculated.
