Abstract
This study demonstrates a high association between prurigo nodularis (PN) and central neural sensitization diseases of pain, such as fibromyalgia, chronic interstitial cystitis and irritable bowel syndrome – possibly indicating that further research is needed to compare the role of neural sensitization in central diseases of pain to the role of neural sensitization in PN.
