Article Synopsis
  • Chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) is a difficult-to-manage condition marked by recurring hives and swelling, triggered by specific factors, and recent research has focused on understanding its causes and improving treatment options.
  • New methods for evaluating patient experiences have been developed, highlighting the significant impact CIndU has on quality of life and enabling better diagnosis through provocation tests for different subtypes.
  • Currently, second-generation non-sedating antihistamines are the primary recommended treatment, but they often fall short; however, off-label use of omalizumab shows promise, along with other emerging therapies being researched for future options.

  • Chronic urticaria is an itchy skin condition that lasts for at least 6 weeks, with both spontaneous cases (no clear triggers) and inducible cases (specific triggers like heat or cold).
  • Angioedema is another condition that involves swelling beneath the skin, often occurring alongside chronic urticaria, but it lasts longer and can have different causes.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial since chronic urticaria and angioedema can be confused with other conditions, impacting treatment and outcomes for patients.
