Summary
This project is to develop a national registry for CP patients. Patients admitted to this registry will be examined and documented with PROs, physician-based assessments, blood tests, 3D photodocumentation and, if indicated, by skin biopsies, neurophysiological testing and radiological imaging at defined timepoints. The data collection will allow deepened insights into patient needs, different mechanisms and courses of pruritic conditions, treatment outcomes and treatment-related safety issues. In addition, the collection of clinical, biological and image-based data may be used for retrospective analyses.
