Group comparative trial of 2% nedocromil sodium with placebo in the treatment of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
A double blind group comparative trial comparing 2% nedocromil sodium with placebo in treating seasonal allergic conjunctivitis over a four week period is reported. Sixty-four patients were analysed. During the period of peak pollen challenge, statistically significant differences in favour of nedocromil sodium for itching and soreness were demonstrated. During a longer period of a less high pollen count, a significant difference in favour of nedocromil sodium was shown only for the symptom of soreness.
