Sponsor's own description
Itch is defined as an unpleasant sensation that evokes the desire to scratch. Chronic itch, defined as itch persisting for more that 6 weeks, is a key symptom in many diseases severely affects the quality of life of the affected patients and represents a substantial economic burden for the society. At present, there are no effective treatments for chronic itch diseases. Moreover, chronic itch patients express differences in their genes compared with people who do not suffer from itch. With this experiment, we wish to analyse differences in genes expression in healthy volunteers who have been exposed to artificial itch from small plant needles from the plant cowhage (mucuna pruriens) and compare them to controls who have not been exposed to itch.
