Enhanced Itch Intensity Is Associated with Less Efficient Descending Inhibition Processing for Itch But Not Pain Attenuation in Chronic Dermatology Patients.
Abstract
The study aims were 1) to investigate the direction of mutual inhibitory pathways on itch intensity by utilizing conditioned pain modulation paradigms for pain and itch attenuation and 2) to explore whether itch severity is affected by the individual pain sensitivity profile, as well as pain scores reported during the tests and the past week.
