ABSTRACT
Chronic pruritus is a highly prevalent disease associated with high psychosocial and economic burdens. In addition to pharmacological treatments, device-based physical therapies also offer antipruritic effects.

In this narrative review, we provided an overview of these physical modalities and their role in itch management.
