Abstract
A method to quantitate scratching has been developed for assessing the efficacies of interventions purported to ameliorate pruritus. The technique employs a piezo film sensor attached to the finger and the supporting electronics to amplify, transmit, and process the signals generated by the piezo film. The piezo film is essentially a contact microphone on the fingernail of the scratching subject. The method is currently incorporated into clinical trials, and preliminary results are promising.Entities:
