Filter by:The main objective of this study is to identify by functional and structural MRI which are the brain areas activated in various pruritic situations to deduct a model describing the different causes of pruritus. The investigators are going to compare two chronic pruritus conditions (histaminergic urticaria and non histaminergic: psoriasis) to a healthy control group. The secondary objective of this study is to specify a classification index from the physiological results obtained by brain imaging to differentiate multiple types of pruritus.
The primary objective of this observational study is to describe the prevalence of pruritus and pemphigoid in nursing home patients. Secondary outcomes are the relationships of demographic factors and medical risk factors with pemphigoid, including dementia and neuropsychiatric symptoms, medication use and Karnofsky score.
This multi-center, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, randomized crossover design study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of topically applied naloxone lotion, 0.5%, for the treatment of pruritus in patients with the mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) Forms of Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL). This study will also determine if there is systemic absorption of the drug in a subset of subjects and if so, describe the range and mean plasma levels reached after two weeks of three time daily (TID) dosing.

Background: Common adverse side effects related to the use of neuraxial opioids in the obstetric population include nausea, vomiting, and pruritus. Serotonin (5-HT3) receptor antagonists, in particular ondansetron, have been identified as possible antipruritic agents. It was reported that dexamethasone plus ondansetron is more effective than ondansetron for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting but no additional effect on treating pruritus. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of prophylactic ondansetron versus ondansetron plus dexamethasone after cesarean section on pruritus and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Methods: A prospective randomized double blind study that will be conducted between June 2016 and June 2017. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups. The first group will receive 4 mg intravenous (IV) ondansetron while the other group will receive 4 mg IV ondansetron plus 8 mg dexamethasone.
The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of capsaicin-induced neurogenic inflammation with three different intensities on itch subsequently induced by histamine and cowhage. The hypothesis is that capsaicin-induced pre-established neurogenic inflammation significantly increases susceptibility to itch provocations with cowhage and histamine.
A prospective, randomized, controlled open clinic trial to evaluate the effect and safety of combination of conventional hemodialysis(HD) and hemoperfusion(HP) on middle molecules removal and complications improvement in long-term maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. There are two phases of study for each subject. Phase 1 (screening phase). During this phase, each potential subject will be evaluated to determine if he/she is eligible for the study. Phase 2 (intervention phase). Each subject will be randomly allocated to HD+HP(HA130 once per week) group ,HD+HP(HA330 once per week) group and HD group. The follow-up duration was 3 months.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, multi-center, Phase 2, proof-of-concept efficacy and safety study in patients with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety profile of PA101B delivered via eFlow high efficiency nebulizer in patients with uremic pruritus who are symptomatic despite using standard treatments.
The objective of this 1 week trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an over-the-counter (OTC) 1% colloidal oatmeal skin protectant cream in adults and children with mild to moderate AD.
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).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fumaria Parviflora L. can minimize severity of pruritus in patients with end-stage renal disease.
