摘要
Chronic pruritus is a difficult-to-treat problem which accompanies many dermatologic and systemic diseases. Frequently, therapy is ineffective and prolongs the pruritus. Thus significant costs arise for the health system, which are clearly lowered by a rational therapy concept. Extensive knowledge about both topical and systemic therapy of pruritus has been acquired in recent years. Currently, new therapeutic approaches are available, which intervene in different pruritogenic mechanisms. Substances can block the cutaneous pruritus induction (e.g. antihistamines, leukotriene antagonists, cannabinoid agonists) or mediate central effects such as the inhibition of pruritus transmission via the spinal cord (e.g. naltrexone, gabapentin) or the suppression of the cerebral itch perception (e.g. antidepressants, neuroleptics). Usually combining several therapeutic principles is necessary in order to suppress chronic pruritus with lasting effect. The most effective approach is to gradually combine therapies, always considering both the medical and financial impacts. © Springer Medizin Verlag 2006.
