Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 and Reduced Severity of Allergic Rhinitis Symptoms

Research synthesisLow evidenceModerate effect10 studies · 10 beneficial · 0 neutral · 0 harmful

Across 10 studies, all reported beneficial effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 on reducing severity of allergic rhinitis symptoms, with a predominant moderate effect size (8 of 10 studies). However, only 1 study reported a statistically significant finding, and all included papers are reviews (not primary clinical trials). No consistent dose, duration, or form data were available; populations studied varied widely (e.g., cancer survivors, pre-weaning calves, general adults).

Caveats: Available evidence is overwhelmingly positive — clinical literature in this area is subject to publication bias (null-result studies are less likely to be published or indexed). Additionally, many of the included studies did not reach statistical significance (only 1 of 10 reported significant findings) — the effect may be smaller than the predominant direction suggests. All database entries are reviews, not primary clinical trials, so the underlying study quality and consistency are uncertain.
