Tree Pollen on the rise
Tree and Grass Pollen Season
Seasonal Allergies & Pollen Counts
 
Pollen season is in full swing with tree and grass pollen taking the front seat. Pollen from trees, grasses and weeds are produced in mass quantities and spread by the wind. This powdery substance lands in the eyes, nose, throat, skin and in the lungs which can cause a whole host of symptoms.
 
Some people will suffer from hives, watery eyes, itchy throat, runny nose, fatigue and irritability .  This happens because the body launches an attack by the immune system to increase the antibody level since it sees the pollen as an invader

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, it might be a good idea to track the pollen counts. Click here for a great resource to help track pollen levels. 
 
Those that suffer from lung conditions such asthma, COPD and bronchitis should be particularly aware of allergy season. Spring and summer allergies can cause your COPD flares to worsen. 
 
The Clinical Research Center is conducting a clinical trial to investigate an investigational medication for COPD.
You can find out more about CR C's current studies   here .
 
To learn more about the investigational research study, contact the Clinical Research Center at 314-514-8509 or email us at recruitment@clinicalresearchcenter.com 

COPD & Other Studies

The CRC is currently conducting a number of COPD and Asthma studies.  We also have a Chronic Hives study.  To learn more about these and all the studies we are currently enrolling for visit our Current Studies page.

Migraines
A migraine headache can cause an intense throbbing sensation in one area of the head and is commonly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. 
 
Migraine attacks can cause pain for hours to days and can be very severe, requiring a dark, quiet place to lie down.  
They can be so debilitating that some people miss work or school. Thirty-six million Americans suffer from migraine headaches and they are three times more common in w omen  than men.   
 
In one third of sufferers, migraine
s are preceded by an aura phase, such as flashes of light, blind spots, squiggly lines or tingling in an arm or leg. 
Migraine Headache
 
Although migraines are a common disorder and causes substantial pain and disability, the disease is poorly understood, under diagnosed and current treatments are often inadequate. It's been a slow process but scientists have made important breakthroughs that have improved our understanding and treatment of migraine headaches.

A few of the benefits include: 
1. Being a part of a process that is essential in the development of medications.  All medications must go through this process to become FDA approved.

 2. Having an opportunity to try medications to help your disease long before they become available on the market.

3. Receiving study related medication, study related testing and asthma/allergy education at no cost.
