Comparing the efficacy of updated treatment choices for prurigo nodularis: A network meta-analysis

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic dermatological condition characterized by intensely pruritic nodules or papules. (Huang et al., 2020) Conventional treatment choices often have side effects and uncertain long-term effectiveness, limiting their use and forming a lack of clear guidance for therapy. However, recent advances in understanding PN's chronic pruritus mechanisms have led to more treatment choices that show the potential to enhance skin health, reduce itchiness, and improve the life quality of PN patients.
