Pruritus, the most common symptom in dermatology, is an innate response capable of protecting skin against irritants. Nonetheless, when it lasts more than six weeks assumed to be a chronic pathology having negative impact on people's lives. Chronic pruritus (CP) can occur and rare diseases, high prevalence global population. The existing therapies are unable counteract CP or associated with adverse effects, so development effective treatments pressing issue. pathophysiological mechanisms underlying not yet completely dissected but, based current knowledge, involve wide range receptors, namely neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), Janus kinase (JAK), transient potential (TRP) ion channels, especially vanilloid (TRPV1) ankyrin (TRPA1). This review will address relevance these molecular targets for treatment molecules modulating receptors that have already been studied clinically possibly alleviate this pathology.

A bőrbetegségeket világszerte a negyedik legnagyobb terhet jelentő, nem végzetes népegészségügyi problémákként azonosították, amelyek mind az érintettek, pedig egészségügyi ellátórendszer számára komoly kihívást jelentenek. bőrbetegségek kialakulásában és lefolyásában pszichoszociális tényezők, megterhelő életesemények stressz sok esetben szerepet játszanak, elszenvedőit gyakran romló életminőség jellemzi, igen gyakoriak komorbid zavarok. Az utóbbi időben növekszik száma azoknak szakirodalmi tanulmányoknak, pszichodermatológiai betegségek osztályozásának egységesítése mellett érvelnek, klinikai praxis színvonalának javítása, bőrbetegséggel élők jobb megértése, valamint különböző szakmák (bőrgyógyászok, háziorvosok, pszichiáterek, pszichológusok) közös fogalmi rendszerének kialakítása érdekében.
