According to the criteria of Hanifin et al., pruritus is an essential feature of atopic dermatitis (AD) (2). While in AD all patients suffer from pruritus, 80% of psoriasis patients have this complaint (3). Pruritus of high intensity is common in AD, (4), whereas in ichthyosis and psoriasis moderate pruritus is frequently observed(5, 6). A large questionnaire survey revealed that AD patients experience itch more frequently at night, in the evening and during the winter (4). More than half the surveyed participants reported pain (59%) and heat sensation (53%) associated with itch, which are significantly correlated with itch intensity (4). Pruritus as well as eczema in AD has a high impact on the quality of life (7,8). The Skindex comprising 16 questions has been recently developed as a specific instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in dermatology patients (8). A recent study showed that improvement of AD parallels the reduction of Skindex value. In particular, the emotions score of Skindex significantly correlates with reduction of pruritus intensity (8).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\">Dieser Inhalt ist nur f\u00fcr Benutzer der Gruppe: Medizinische Fachperson zug\u00e4nglich <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/my-account\/packages\/\">Jetzt beitreten<\/a><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/log-in\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmedizinonline.com%2Fen%2Fpruritus-and-relation-barrier-function%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronic pruritus (&gt; 6 weeks of duration) is one of the most frequent skin complaints and occurs in a broad variety of diseases including dermatological, systemic, neurological, psychosomatic\/psychiatric and gynaecological&#8230;&hellip;... <\/p>\n<div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\">Dieser Inhalt ist nur f\u00fcr Benutzer der Gruppe: Medizinische Fachperson zug\u00e4nglich <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/my-account\/packages\/\">Jetzt beitreten<\/a><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/log-in\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmedizinonline.com%2Fen%2Fpruritus-and-relation-barrier-function%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4736,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","cat_1_feature_home_top":false,"cat_2_editor_pick":false,"csco_eyebrow_text":"Atopic dermatitis","footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"category":[11149,11181,11249],"tags":[],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":["post-4738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dermatologie-und-venerologie","category-news","category-rx","pmpro-level-required","pmpro-level-1","pmpro-no-access"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-20 11:52:40","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4738"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151282,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4738\/revisions\/151282"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/category?post=4738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4738"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=4738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
