- - Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a severe skin condition marked by itchy red or purple lesions, and treating it effectively requires a combination of therapies that tackle both immune and nerve-related issues.
- - A comprehensive review of 1,153 articles led to the inclusion of 88 studies focused on various systemic treatments for PN, highlighting the efficacy of drugs like dupilumab, thalidomide, and pregabalin among others.
- - Dupilumab stands out as the most effective treatment with the least side effects, while other medications like thalidomide and pregabalin can cause muscle and nerve pain, and there is a need for more extensive studies on Janus Kinase inhibitors.
