Study of Kids Itch Severity (SKIS) — SKIS  

Chronic Pruritus Clinical Trial

Official title: Study of Kids Itch Severity (SKIS): "Validation and Mobilization of Pediatric Pruritus Outcome Instruments"

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This purpose of this study is to validate two measures of chronic itching in kids: itch severity (ItchyQuant) and the impact on their quality of life (ItchyQoL).

Clinical Trial Description

There are many diseases that affect children where the primary symptom is pruritus. This study aims to validate an age appropriate pediatric version of the ItchyQoL, a pruritus-specific quality of life instrument, and the ItchyQuant, a self-reported itch severity scale, to better understand how pruritus affects the pediatric population. These instruments will comprehensively capture the severity and impact of pruritus in children. The physicians want to explore the opportunity to integrate patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) as a patient-reported tool in the ambulatory setting. ;
