What is the primary treatment goal for patients undergoing desensitization?

The primary treatment goal for patients undergoing desensitization is to alleviate allergic reactions. This process is specifically designed to reduce the sensitivity of an individual to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. By gradually introducing small amounts of the allergen into the patient's system, the body can develop a tolerance, reducing the severity of allergic responses over time. Successful desensitization can lead to long-term relief from symptoms associated with allergies, improving the quality of life for those affected.

In this context, enhancing physical strength, reducing emotional distress, and increasing immune system strength are not the primary focus of desensitization therapy. While some patients may experience emotional benefits from reduced allergic responses, the main objective remains centered on managing and alleviating allergic reactions specifically.
