Brief Summary:
This project aims to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of catastrophizing rumination magnification and helplessness as well as some specific personality traits related to catastrophizing tendencies like anxiety sensitivity and fear sensitivity in the modulation of itch and pain intensities in an experimental setting
Detailed Description:
Chronic itch severely affects the quality of life of patients by interfering with vital functions such as sleep attention and sexual activity with an elevated expression of cognitive and emotional factors such as itch catastrophizing worrying as well as personality characteristics such as the predisposition to anxiety depression and suicidal thoughts that play an important role in the development modification and maintenance of itch Moreover chronic itch represents a significant socioeconomic burden due to a prevalence of around 10 in combination with largely suboptimal treatment since limited evidence has been found for the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions The hypothesis of this project is that since it is well documented that the relationship between catastrophizing and pain and that itch and pain share many similarities investigators can assume the existence of a similar connection between catastrophizing and itching
