Role of sublingual immunotherapy in the treatment of asthma: an updated systematic review.
This systematic review analyzed a number of studies on sublingual immunotherapy treatment (SLIT) for asthma caused by allergies. Fourteen randomized control trials (RCTs) studies were identified to analyze effective for allergies of house mites, birch, and grasses. However, a total of 20 RCTs and 10 observational studies were identified and used in this review. The review showed moderate-to-high strength evidence that SLIT is effective in improving allergic asthma symptoms. It also reduced long-term medication use and improved FEV1.
