Abstract

Little is known about the validity of numeric and verbal rating scales (NRS and VRS) for itch and itch frequency for assessing itch severity in AD. We evaluated the Patient-Reported Outcomes Information System (PROMIS ) Itch Questionnaire (PIQ) – itch severity assessment, including multiple NRS, VRS and frequency of itch assessments, in adults with AD and compared their performance.
