The Role of Janus Kinase (JAK) and Voltage-gated Sodium Channels (Nav) on Pain and Itch
Sponsor: Aalborg University
Summary
It is well known that itch and pain have many communalities in terms of pathways and molecules involved. Therefore, it is very important to investi-gate different substances that work against both pain and itching. The substances delgocitinib and lidocaine have both been shown to relieve various types of pain. We therefore assume that these creams will be also able to relieve itching. The purpose of this trial experiment is therefore to investigate the effect of delgocitinib, lidocaine and their combination on experimentally induced itching.
