  text: "Background\r\nChronic pruritus (CP) is a subjective symptom, and it is necessary
    to assess its intensity with validated patient-reported outcome tools in order
    to allow determination of the treatment course.\r\n\r\nObjectives\r\nSo far, the
    itch intensity scales were validated in small cohorts and in single languages.
    Here, we report the validation of the numerical rating scale, the verbal rating
    scale and the visual analogue scale for the worst and average pruritus intensity
    in the last 24h in several languages across Europe and across different pruritic
    dermatoses.\r\n\r\nMethods\r\nAfter professional translation, the intensity scales
    were digitized for use as a tablet computer application. Validation was performed
    in clinics for Dermatology in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia,
    Spain, Switzerland and Turkey.\r\n\r\nResults\r\nA total of 547 patients with
    contact dermatitis, chronic nodular prurigo, psoriasis vulgaris, lichen planus
    or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma were included. The intensity scales showed a high
    level of reproducibility and inter-correlations with each other. The correlation
    with the Dermatology Life Quality Index was weak to strong in nearly all countries
    and dermatoses with the exception of France and patients with chronic nodular
    prurigo, for which no statistically significant correlations were found.\r\n\r\nConclusions\r\nThe
    numerical rating scale, the verbal rating scale und the visual analogue scales
    are valid instruments with good reproducibility and internal consistency in German
    (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and
    Turkish for different pruritic dermatoses. VAS worst was the best reproducible
    and consistent measuring instrument in all countries."

  text: "Background: Chronic pruritus (CP) is a frequently occurring symptom in inflammatory
    dermatoses, causing a high burden and limitations to health-related quality of
    life (HRQoL).\r\n\r\nObjective: The ItchyQoL was developed to assess the impairment
    to HRQoL in patients with CP. However, it has only been validated in English and
    German. Here, we report the validation in several languages across Europe.\r\n\r\nMethods:
    After professional translation, the versions of ItchyQoL were digitized for use
    as a tablet application. Validation was performed in clinics for dermatology in
    Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey.\r\n\r\nResults:
    Five hundred and thirty-five patients with either contact dermatitis, chronic
    prurigo - nodular type, psoriasis vulgaris, lichen planus or mycosis fungoides/Sézary
    syndrome and with CP ≥ 3 on the numerical rating scale were included. ItchyQoL
    showed a high level of consistency (Cronbach's-α, all: 0.95) and test-retest reliability
    (intraclass correlation: 0.91). It strongly correlated with the Dermatology Life
    Quality Index (r = 0.72, P < 0.001) and moderately correlated with itch intensity
    scales in the study population (visual analogue scale r = 0.46; numerical rating
    scale r = 0.51; verbal rating scale r = 0.51, for all: P < 0.001).\r\n\r\nConclusion:
    ItchyQoL is now also validated in French, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and
    Turkish and can be used in clinical trials in countries speaking these languages."

  text: "Background: The term prurigo has been used for many decades in dermatology
    without clear definition, and currently used terminology of prurigo is inconsistent
    and confusing. Especially, itch-related prurigo remains unexplored regarding the
    epidemiology, clinical profile, natural course, underlying causes, available treatments
    and economic burden, although burdensome and difficult to treat.\r\n\r\nObjective:
    To address these issues, the multicentre European Prurigo Project (EPP) was designed
    to increase knowledge on chronic prurigo (CPG). In the first step, European experts
    of the EADV Task Force Pruritus (TFP) aimed to achieve a consensus on the definition,
    classification and terminology of CPG. Additionally, procedures of the cross-sectional
    EPP were discussed and agreed upon.\r\n\r\nMethods: Discussions and surveys between
    members of the TFP served as basis for a consensus conference. Using the Delphi
    method, consensus was defined as an agreement ≥75% among the present members.\r\n\r\nResults:
    Twenty-four members of the TFP participated in the consensus conference. Experts
    consented that CPG should be used as an umbrella term for the range of clinical
    manifestations (e.g. papular, nodular, plaque or umbilicated types). CPG is considered
    a distinct disease defined by the presence of chronic pruritus for ≥6 weeks, history
    and/or signs of repeated scratching and multiple localized/generalized pruriginous
    skin lesions (whitish or pink papules, nodules and/or plaques). CPG occurs due
    to a neuronal sensitization to itch and the development of an itch-scratch cycle.\r\n\r\nConclusion:
    This new definition and terminology of CPG should be implemented in dermatology
    to harmonize communication in the clinical routine, clinical trials and scientific
    literature. Acute/subacute forms of prurigo are separated entities, which need
    to be differentiated from CPG and will be discussed in a next step. In the near
    future, the cross-sectional EPP will provide relevant clinical data on various
    aspects of CPG leading to new directions in the scientific investigation of CGP."

  text: "Background\r\n\r\nChronic pruritus is a frequently occurring symptom of various
    dermatoses that causes a high burden and impaired quality of life. An effective
    anti pruritic therapy is important for the patient, but its effectiveness is difficult
    to evaluate. Diverse methods and interpretations of pruritic metrics are utilized
    in clinical trials and the daily clinical practice in different countries, resulting
    in difficulties comparing collected data.\r\nMethods\r\n\r\nWe founded a European
    Network on Assessment of Severity and Burden of Pruritus (PruNet) that is supported
    by the EADV. PruNet consists of 28 experts from 15 EU countries (21 dermatologists,
    5 medical informaticists, 2 psychologists) and aims to unify the assessment of
    itch in routine dermatological care. Following a preliminary survey, a consensus
    conference was held in order to agree upon the prioritization of patient-reported
    outcome tools.\r\nResults\r\n\r\nThrough utilizing the Delphi method, it was agreed
    that tools for measuring itch intensity (ex. the visual analogue scale) and quality
    of life (ex. ItchyQoL) are of primary importance and should urgently be foremost
    validated.\r\nConclusion\r\n\r\nThe validation and harmonization of standards
    are needed for the improvement of quality care for patients suffering from pruritic
    dermatoses. This summer, the first validation studies in several EADV member countries
    already began.\r\n"
