Can virtual reality change immune responses in people with allergies?
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests if virtual reality experiences can affect the immune system in people with bee or wasp venom allergies. It may help understand new ways to treat allergies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you should not have known bee or wasp venom allergy.
- If you have bee or wasp venom allergy, it must be confirmed by a doctor.
- You cannot be currently taking certain immune-suppressing medications.
- You must be comfortable with virtual reality and not have had a bee or wasp sting in the last 2 months.

This trial tests a venom immunotherapy for people allergic to bee or wasp stings. It aims to see how well the treatment works in everyday medical practice.
This study monitors the safety of venom immunotherapy (allergy shots) for people with bee or wasp sting allergies. If you are starting this treatment, researchers will track how well you tolerate it over time.
This trial studies whether having strong reactions to a specific bee venom protein can make venom immunotherapy less effective. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk for therapy failure after bee stings.
This study tests a treatment called Beltaven® for people with severe allergic reactions to bee, wasp, or hornet stings. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps prevent future reactions.
This study looks at how beekeepers develop tolerance to bee venom over time, comparing people who are new to beekeeping, experienced beekeepers without allergies, and beekeepers who have had a recent allergic reaction. If you fall into one of these groups, you may be able to join and help researchers understand how the immune system adapts to bee stings.
This study looks at a type of immune cell (B regulatory cell) in the blood of people with and without allergies to pollens, house dust mites, or insect stings. It aims to help understand how these cells work in allergic disease.
