Itching Caused by TRPV3 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-3) Activator Application to Skin of Burn Patients.
Abstract
Postburn pruritus is a common complication of scars in burn patients. In our previous study, we discovered increased expression of TRPV3, TRPV4, and TRPA1. Among them, TRPV3, in particular, is predominantly expressed in the epidermis of the tissue of pruritic burn scars. We sought to evaluate the correlation between the expression of TRPV3 activators and itching after application of TRPV3 activator carvacrol over burn scars. Design: This was a double-blind clinical trial with non-randomized distribution.
