Numerous treatments have been proposed. But the treatment of itch remains difficult and it depends on its etiology. The understanding of the pathophysiogeny of itch is necessary. Fortunately, many very interesting results of research have been reported in the recent years. 'Pruritis' will explain the pathophysiogeny of itch, describe all causes, and give guidelines for management and treatment.
