Virtual reality for immune changes in bee or wasp venom allergies
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) can change the body's immune response in people with allergies, specifically to bee or wasp venom. It may help researchers find new ways to support allergy treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You can be a healthy volunteer, have a documented bee or wasp venom allergy, or be planning to start or already on venom immunotherapy.
- You cannot be on certain immunosuppressive drugs (like monoclonal antibodies or systemic steroids) or have other allergy shots for different allergens.
- You cannot have had a bee or wasp sting in the past 2 months.
- You cannot have any condition that affects your blood counts (like low white blood cells or anemia) or known intolerance to virtual reality.

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 whether a BAT (a blood test) can stand in for sting/venom “challenges” for people already receiving venom immunotherapy. If it works, it could help patients avoid more risky or uncomfortable challenge procedures while still checking whether treatment is working.
