Limitations and caveats
Viral samplings were made in order to exclude persons with no viral infection and persons with influenza. Most common Colds are due to Rhinoviruses, Parainfluenza and Coronaviruses. These persons were included in the Groups with significant findings.

Registered outcomes2

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimarySum of All Symptoms in Viruspositive PersonsOne week
Symptoms of a common cold, recorded in a home protocol, "Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Score 21 (WURSS21)" daily for 7 days was used as the evaluation method of the treatment. WURSS-21 is a validated protocol for assessing symptoms of a common cold. We used this protocol at start, before the persons in the study started their treatment and thereafter every day for the next 7 days. WURSS 21 consists of 21 questions (last question is not valid) regarding different symptoms as: running nose, sore throat, cough, blocked nose, etc. Every such question is graded from 0-7, 0 is defined as no such symptom and the number 7 means the worst possible symptom. The outcome measure is predominantly calculated as "the sum of all symptoms" in the WURSS-21 protocol, which means that the value from each of the 20 questions (min=0, max=140) is summarized every day for each of the participants, which gives a mean value for both groups every day.
