Abstract
Pruritus is one of the common symptoms after burn injury, which seriously affects the wound healing and quality of life of burn patients, but its diagnosis and treatment are often neglected. The pathophysiological mechanism of post-burn pruritus has not been elucidated, and it is currently believed that post-burn pruritus is caused by the neuropathic factors. In addition, there is no consensus on the standard evaluation methods and treatment protocols for post-burn pruritus. This paper reviewed the research advances on the pathophysiological mechanism, disease evaluation, and treatment of post-burn pruritus.
