Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This cross-sectional study examines the prevalence of catastrophizing and its associations with demographic, clinical, and psychological factors among patients with chronic prurigo, chronic pruritus on nonlesional skin, and chronic spontaneous urticaria. The research utilizes validated questionnaires to measure itch intensity, quality of life, anxiety, depression, stress, and attention to itch across three distinct patient groups. Findings indicate that catastrophizing correlates positively with itch intensity, quality of life impairment, and vigilance to itch, while showing negative associations with age and disease duration.
