Filter by:This is a single blind randomized trial to compare efficacy and side effects of Gabapentin with Doxepin. Hemodialysis patients with uremic pruritus at one dialysis center of Saint George Hospital University Medical Centre were included in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups to receive either 10 mg Doxepin daily or Gabapentin at a dose of 100mg after each hemodialysis session (increased as tolerated) for 4 weeks, after which patients were treated reversley. Pruritus severity and its effect on quality of life will be assessed by using visual analog scale (VAS), 5-D pruritus scale and dermatology life quality index (DLQI). Include patients will have to fill these forms at baseline and at end of week1, week2 and week4
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, to test the hypothesis that RDD1609 is effective in treating idiopathic pruritus ani.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of sublingual naloxone in the treatment of chronic itch in patients under arsenic exposure.
Many clinical studies have shown the benefit of music therapy in various pathologies, including pain, and it is now established that the latter has a complementary therapeutic interest. Its most frequently identified indications are the fight against acute or chronic pains, the reduction of anxiety, depression and stress, as well as memory disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The main modes of action of music therapy involve sensory, cognitive, psychological and behavioral processes that are also found in pruritus. Pruritus is defined as "an uncomfortable sensation causing the need to scratch. It has similarities with pain but also differences: relief by heat / cold, scratching / withdrawal behavior, localization on the skin, semi-mucous / ubiquitous ... etc. The pathophysiology also has similarities, pruritus is born at the dermal-epidermal junction at the level of specific cutaneous receptors then follows the classical pathways through a 1st neuron, then the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and a second neuron. At the cerebral level, there is no single center of pruritus but several motor and sensory areas involved. The similarities suggest that music therapy may have an interest in the management of chronic pruritus, especially since classical treatments (antihistamines, topical corticosteroids) have only partial efficacy in some dermatoses

Study of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus in adults with prurigo nodularis
The association between the presence of pruritus, especially centrofacial, and the presence of a brain tumor is a widespread notion in the medical community but based on a single publication by Andreev et al. in the British Journal of Dermatology published in 1975. No other study has studied this association with a rigorous methodology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pruritus in patients with one or more primary or secondary brain tumor(s), benign(s) or malignant(s).
This is a multicenter, international study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) CR845 at a dose of 0.5 mcg/kg administered after each dialysis session. The study includes a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase and a 52-week Open-label Extension Phase.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the tolerance of the Shampoo (WO 5101) on the scalp by a dermatologist and by the subjects themselves after four weeks of regular product use. Additional objective of this clinical in-use study was to evaluate the cosmetic features and the acceptance of the product by means of a questionnaire at the end of the 4-week treatment period.
