Itch

The Lancet, 2003
Itch is a common skin sensation, with substantial effects on behaviour. Neurophysiological research has permitted accurate definition of neural pathways of itch, and has confirmed the distinctiveness of itch pathways in comparison with pain. A clinical classification of itch, based on such improved understanding, describes the difference between ...

Itch

Current Biology
A camping trip will quickly become unpleasant if a horde of mosquitoes descends while you pitch your tent, or you find yourself in a patch of poison oak. Whether due to an insect bite, a poisonous plant, or a chronic skin disease, everyone has experienced the urgent sensation of itch and the sweet relief of scratching.

Phototherapy for Itch

Dermatologic Clinics, 2020
Phototherapy is an effective treatment modality for many types of pruritus. Although the exact mechanisms by which phototherapy reduces itch vary across pruritic conditions, its effects may result from immune suppression and/or neural modulation. In this article, the authors review the efficacy of different types of phototherapy for common inflammatory

Cancer and Itch

Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2011
Itch represents a common and significant source of morbidity in the oncological setting. Itch sometimes can be associated with an underlying malignancy, most commonly leukemia or lymphoma. Alternatively, itch may present secondary to malignant invasion causing hepatic or renal dysfunction.

Itch and pain

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2005
Decades of pain research have succeeded in elucidating complex mechanisms of acute activation and chronic sensitization of nociceptors leading to pain. In contrast, itch conditions have received less attention and even basic mechanisms for the induction of itch are still unclear.

Scabies Itch

Dermatologic Clinics, 2018
Itch is the cardinal symptom of scabies, present in more than 90% of the cases, generalized and intense, worsening at night, and often sparing the head. The primary complications of the itch in scabies are secondary bacterial infections and psychosocial issues leading to impairment on life quality.

The neurobiology of itch

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2006
The neurobiology of itch, which is formally known as pruritus, and its interaction with pain have been illustrated by the complexity of specific mediators, itch-related neuronal pathways and the central processing of itch. Scratch-induced pain can abolish itch, and analgesic opioids can generate itch, which indicates an antagonistic interaction ...

Itching for relief

Nature Neuroscience, 2013
Little is known about the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying acute and chronic itch. A new technique for silencing peripheral itch neurons defines two independent itch circuits that transmit signals to the CNS.
