This review looked at the different ways doctors can diagnose allergic rhinitis. It compared traditional methods, such as skin prick testing and serum-specific IgE testing, with newer technologies. These modern approaches include molecular allergen diagnostics, biomarker profiling, functional imaging, and assessments assisted by artificial intelligence.
The findings show a shift toward these advanced diagnostic tools. While older methods are still common, the field is moving toward more complex data to help manage patient care. These new techniques aim to give doctors more detailed information about how patients react to specific allergens.
It is important to note that this review summarizes current trends and potential technologies rather than providing results from a specific clinical trial. Because these advanced methods are still evolving, they may not be available at every clinic yet. Patients should talk to their doctor about which diagnostic tools are most appropriate for their specific needs.
