text: 'The complex nature and difficult-to-establish aetiology of chronic pruritus
(CP) makes it challenging to provide medical care for patients with CP. This challenge
can only be met with a multidisciplinary approach. The first multidisciplinary
Itch Centre in Germany was established at the University of Münster in 2002 to
meet the needs of this patient population. More than 2,500 outpatients and 400
inpatients are diagnosed and receive treatment each year. To ensure evidence-based
medical care, an electronic system for medical documentation and patient-reported
outcomes was established. Automated data transfer to a research database enables
comprehensive data analysis. Our translational research has characterized peripheral
and central itch mechanisms, provided novel clustering of CP patients, and identified
novel target-specific therapies (e.g. neurokinin 1 receptor-antagonist). The multidisciplinary
approach, combined with basic, clinical and translational research, enables comprehensive
medical care of patients as well as implementation of high-quality experimental
and clinical studies. '
