INTRODUCTION: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and prurigo nodularis (PN) are chronic pruritic skin diseases that severely impact patients' quality of life. Despite the widespread attention these two diseases have garnered within the dermatological field, the...
Nocturnal scratching substantially impairs the quality of life in individuals with skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Current clinical measurements of scratch rely on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on itch over the last 24 h. Such meas...
Mice are the most commonly used model animals for itch research and for development of anti-itch drugs. Most laboratories manually quantify mouse scratching behavior to assess itch intensity. This process is labor-intensive and limits large-scale gen...
Scratching is one of the most important behaviours in experimental animals because it can reflect itching and/or psychological stress. Here, we aimed to establish a novel method to detect scratching using deep neural network. Scratching was elicited ...

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting both children and adults and is associated with pruritus. A method for objectively quantifying nocturnal scratching events could aid in the development of therapies for atopic derma...
IMPORTANCE: Although more than 1 in 10 people experience pruritus, there are limited medical technologies that can accurately and continuously quantify and simultaneously reduce scratching behaviors through nonpharmacological methods.
OBJECTIVES: Manual systematic literature reviews are becoming increasingly challenging due to the sharp rise in publications. The primary objective of this literature review was to compare manual and computer software using artificial intelligence re...
