Pseudoallergen-Free and Low-Histamine Diet in Adolescents With Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (PAF-LH-CSU)

2 juni 2026 bijgewerkt door: Ayşe Süleyman, Istanbul University

Clinical Response to a Histamine- and Pseudoallergen-Restricted Diet in Patients With Chronic Urticaria

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a histamine- and pseudoallergen-restricted diet can help reduce symptoms in people with chronic urticaria. It will also learn whether this diet changes the need for urticaria medication.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the diet lower urticaria activity, including hives and itching?

Does the diet improve disease control and quality of life?

Does the diet change the need for urticaria medication?

Which clinical or laboratory factors may affect response to the diet?

There is no comparison group. Researchers will compare participants' symptoms before and after the diet.

Participants will:

Follow a structured histamine- and pseudoallergen-restricted diet

Continue their usual urticaria treatment as recommended by their doctor

Record or report their urticaria symptoms during follow-up

Visit the clinic for assessment of symptoms, disease control, quality of life, medication use, and laboratory findings.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Chronic spontaneous urticaria in children is a heterogeneous condition characterized by recurrent wheals, angioedema, or both for more than six weeks without a consistent external trigger. Although second-generation H1-antihistamines are the mainstay of treatment, disease activity may persist in some children despite standard care.

Dietary factors, including histamine-rich foods, histamine-releasing foods, and pseudoallergens such as selected additives, preservatives, colorants, and naturally occurring food components, have been proposed as potential aggravating factors in a subset of patients. However, the clinical value of dietary restriction in pediatric chronic spontaneous urticaria remains uncertain, and better evidence is needed to determine whether a time-limited dietary approach provides additional benefit.

This randomized controlled study will evaluate a structured low-histamine and pseudoallergen-free diet as an adjunct to standard guideline-based care in children with chronic spontaneous urticaria. The comparator group will receive standard care with general age-appropriate healthy eating advice, without specific restriction of histamine-rich or pseudoallergen-containing foods during the primary comparison period.

All participants will continue to receive standard clinical care according to current urticaria management principles. Antihistamine treatment will be permitted according to clinical need. The study will also explore whether baseline clinical and laboratory characteristics, including autologous serum skin test status and routine inflammatory markers, are associated with response to the dietary intervention.

Because this is a pediatric dietary study, the dietary intervention will be standardized, time-limited, and implemented with parental guidance. Unnecessary prolonged dietary restriction will be avoided.

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Low-histamine and pseudoallergen-free diet group
Children with chronic spontaneous urticaria assigned to this arm will receive a structured low-histamine and pseudoallergen-free diet in addition to standard guideline-based clinical care.
Gedragsmatig: Intervention Name: Low-histamine and pseudoallergen-free diet
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive a structured low-histamine and pseudoallergen-free diet for 4 weeks in addition to standard guideline-based clinical care. The diet will restrict histamine-rich foods, foods considered to promote histamine release, and foods containing common pseudoallergen sources such as selected additives, preservatives, colorants, and naturally occurring pseudoallergen-rich foods. Antihistamine treatment will be permitted according to clinical need.
Actieve vergelijker: General dietary advice control group
Children with chronic spontaneous urticaria assigned to this arm will receive standard guideline-based clinical care with general age-appropriate healthy eating advice, without specific restriction of histamine-rich or pseudoallergen-containing foods during the primary comparison period.
Gedragsmatig: General healthy eating advice
Participants assigned to the control group will receive standard guideline-based clinical care together with general age-appropriate healthy eating advice. No specific restriction of histamine-rich foods, histamine-releasing foods, or pseudoallergen-containing foods will be recommended during the primary 4-week comparison period. Antihistamine treatment will be permitted according to clinical need.
