NIH Is Moving Toward Itch Referral Centers


 

Dr. Berger has been a consultant for Prescription Solutions and received research funding from GlaxoSmithKline, Clinsys Clinical Research, Merz Pharmaceuticals, and Pharmanet, none of which is relevant to this topic, he said. All the medications for itching that he discussed are used off-label.

Skin Disease Education Foundation and this news organization are owned by Elsevier.

'In Europe, every patient with itch goes to a medical center for itch [and] is seen in a standard way.'
