This type of test is commonly used in various medical fields, including allergy testing, asthma assessment, and evaluation of other hypersensitivity conditions. In the context of allergy testing, a provocation test might involve exposing a patient to a suspected allergen to observe whether they exhibit an allergic reaction, such as respiratory symptoms or skin reactions.
