简要总结

In order to evaluate the effects a nasal provocation on the activation of different brain regions, the investigators want to set up a clinical trial investigating the short-term effects of a nasal histamine provocation in healthy volunteers and allergic patients while in supine position under the functional MRI device in order to visualize different brain regions.
