Itch Severity Scale

The Itch Severity Scale is a tool used by healthcare providers to measure how intense and bothersome a person's itching is. It helps determine how severe the itch is by asking about factors like how often it occurs, how strong the sensation feels, and how much it affects daily activities. This standardized assessment allows for better tracking of symptoms over time and for evaluating how well treatments are working. It provides a clear picture of the itching experience, guiding appropriate management and improving patient care.
