What Is Neuropathic Itch?
What Is Neuropathic Itch? Considered physiologically, neuropathic itch is a pathological form of itch where the stimulus-response curve that governs normal sensation has become distorted and the itch sensation is out of proportion or even completely independent of any pruritogenic stimuli. Which nerve is responsible for itching? Itch is sensed by nerve fibers called pruriceptors.
