Attention Deficit Disorder and Allergic Rhinitis - Are They Related?

Isaac Melamed and Melinda Heffron

Article Type: Mini Review | First Published: July 01, 2016

The primary objective of this study was to determine if a combination of cetirizine + methylphenidate is effective in children with comorbid ADHD and allergic rhinitis. We also examined the role of nerve growth factor in these comorbidities. Our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study enrolled 38 children diagnosed w...
