A Study on Scratching Behavior Characteristics in Patients With Various Types of Chronic Pruritus
We analyzed scratching behavior patterns in patients with chronic pruritus. Our findings support the need for education on the importance of applying moisturizer before sleep. The results are also important for helping patients with prurigo correct their abnormal and aggressive scratching behavior patterns, which can reduce quality of life and worsen symptoms.
