Itch associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) has a profoundly negative effect on patients of all ages. Therefore, itch is a main target for AD therapeutic approaches, and treatments are perceived as beneficial when they achieve an itch reduction. In the absence of a validated scale for children aged 6-11 years that is suitable for assessing itch intensity in clinical trial settings, the Worst Itch Scale was developed.
