Abstract

Until now the therapy of pollinosis with Galphimia glauca was based on individual experience. We performed a randomized, controlled, multicenter, and double-blind clinical trial to verify the effectiveness of the Galphimia glauca D4 therapy of patients with pollinosis. The average time of observation was 51/2 weeks. Galphimia was found to be more effective than placebo at a 1% level of significance. Therapeutic success was given in 34/41 (= 83%) of the patients with Galphimia and in 21/45 (= 47%) of the control patients.
