Abstract:
Human neuroimaging studies on the physiology of itch have been hampered by the lack of reproducible "on-off" stimuli. Using a previously established biphasic temperature stimulus model, we investigated the cerebral activation pattern of itch processing in 12 healthy volunteers with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Itch was provoked on the right forearm with skin prick application of 1% histamine-dihydrochloride. Local temperature modulation allowed reproducible itch provocation above scrat...     »
