Brachioradial Pruritus: An Etiologic Review and Treatment Summary.
ABSTRACT
Brachioradial pruritus (BRP) is a relatively uncommon neuropathic dysesthesia localized to the dorsolateral arms that causes unrelenting itching, burning, tingling, or stinging sensations. There is no identifiable cause of BRP to date, though it is thought to be secondary to either cervical spine pathology or exposure to UV radiation (UVR). Gold-standard treatment of BRP remains unknown. This article reviews previously trialed conservative management options, including chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and photoprotection, as well as medical management options that have been utilized to treat BRP, such as medications, interventional pain management procedures, and surgery. We compiled an updated comprehensive list of possible treatment strategies to be utilized by future providers.
