Identification of Subpopulations of Patients With Cholinergic Urticaria Based on Infrared Exposure Test Results.

Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to identify subpopulations of patients with cholinergic urticaria based on their sensitivity to infrared (IR) radiation exposure. Cholinergic urticaria is a chronic inducible urticaria triggered by increased body temperature. The study seeks to determine whether infrared exposure can induce symptoms in a subset of patients and whether these patients exhibit specific clinical or epidemiological characteristics.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Infrared exposure test

Patients will undergo a standardized infrared exposure test (this test is specifically for research purposes) to evaluate the occurrence of cholinergic urticaria reaction. IR exposure test with non-invasive core body temperature measurements, evaluate the occurrence of cholinergic urticaria up to 10 minutes after the end of the test, stop the test at the first clinical signs of urticaria. Desk lamp with infrared bulb, switched on 20cm vertically from the forearm posteriorly for 3 minutes. Reading up to 10 minutes after end of exposure test: diagnosis of cholinergic urticaria flare-up if presence of pruritic micropapules on erythematous background of trunk +/- limbs. Stop the test as soon as urticarial lesions appear.
