The ItchyQoL is a questionnaire used to measure the quality of life in patients with chronic pruritus. It is composed of 22 items regarding symptoms, functions, emotions and self-perception, and is currently under copyright protection. In addition to the total score, a subscore for "symptoms", "functioning" and "emotions" can also be calculated.
