A test-retest reliability study of human experimental models of histaminergic and non-histaminergic itch [PDF]
, 2017 Numerous exploratory, proof-of-concept and interventional studies have used histaminergic and non-histaminergic human models of itch. However, no reliability studies for such surrogate models have been conducted.

Cross-inhibition of NMBR and GRPR signaling maintains normal histaminergic itch transmission [PDF]
, 2014 We previously showed that gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) in the spinal cord is important for mediating nonhistaminergic itch. Neuromedin B receptor (NMBR), the second member of the mammalian bombesin receptor family, is expressed in a largely ...

The cellular and molecular mechanisms are still unknown. All neurological disease categories have been implicated, and neurological causes should be considered for patients with otherwise-unexplained itch.
