Revolutionary nasal spray from Würzburg: No more colds!
The Würzburg University Hospital is investigating an innovative nasal spray to combat colds and flu during the cold season.
Revolutionary nasal spray from Würzburg: No more colds!
Cold season has us firmly in its grip: noses run everywhere, coughs are omnipresent and sore throats bother many people. During this time, people hope for every possible solution to relieve the annoying symptoms of the common cold. In Würzburg, researchers from the University Hospital have developed a promising idea: a nasal spray that contains nitric oxide. This spray could help fight pathogens and is intended for use at the first signs of a cold or flu. Radio Gong reports about the background and goals of this innovative project.
The nasal spray is being tested for effectiveness in a study that not only aims to reduce symptoms of respiratory illnesses but could also serve as a preventive measure against future outbreaks. Incidentally, colds are often the reason for sick leave, which is why research is of great importance here. The study team is now looking for participants who are at least 18 years old and have experienced cold symptoms within the last three days. These people are then recruited in collaboration with general practitioners’ practices in the Würzburg area.
Participants wanted!
The special feature of this study is that the study team usually visits the participants at home on the same day and divides them into one of three groups: one group receives the nitrogen nasal spray, another uses a saline nasal spray, while the third group does not receive any spray. Another plus: The study allows participants to use painkillers and steam baths to relieve symptoms. Participants also keep a diary of their symptoms and do regular nasal swabs.
The prospect of relief is of great concern to many, and understanding new therapeutic options is always of interest. Anyone interested in taking part in this study should contact those responsible quickly. It could be the first step to fighting colds effectively.
