Advances in Food Allergy Treatment.
Year: 2020
Type: review
Abstract: Food allergies represent life-threatening diseases which are increasing in prevalence with no definitive treatments currently in place. Current treatments are no more than preventative avoidance and symptom management. Research within the field has focused on therapeutic developments to modify the immune response in allergen-specific and non-specific methods. This review of the advances made in treatments intends to cover methods such as oral immunotherapy, modified food protein vaccines as well as the use of alternative medicine. Thus, this review aims to inform and further extend discussion surrounding the potential clinical applications as well as novel routes for further research into an, as of yet, unsolved question.
