DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2019.02.013
Abstract: ABSTRACT The contribution of serotonin and noradrenaline to the modulation of pruriceptive processing was evaluated by administrating antidepressants or noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors. The pretreatment with milnacipran, a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, and mirtazapine, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.2340/actadv.v102.1626
Abstract: Attention is known to modulate itch intensity. In contrast, the reverse relationship, i.e. the degree to which the presence of an acute itch affects attention, is currently not well understood. The aims of this study… read more here.
