When Are New Medicines Coming Out To Treat This Disease.is There Any Already In The The Trail Phase?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I am living with mild to moderate PN for about a year now. I am scared to inject any drug in my body for the simple fact I do not like needles and of the side effects of the medication. They need to make something in a pill form or madey a one time injection that cures it. AM I ASKING TOO MUCH??? PLEASE HELP.. TY

Waiting for Nemolizumab that's made for PN... I'm hoping it will help so many of us!

I need to say there was not a dramatic change with dupixent, but I forgot to take it once (it’s every two weeks) and the extreme burning and itching returned. I had forgotten just how terrible it could get. Now I just deal with sores, bumps, scabs, pain, itching but it is bearable. I have been going through some hard life events and I notice I have a tendency to touch and rub my scalp more. Absolutely for me grabbing and ice pack and putting it on my scalp when it itches saves so much agony.

Dupixent has been very helpful. You have to stick with it to really see. It is an injection, but when I compare it to the agony PN gave me before I tried it, for me it seems a small price to pay.

I know about the FDA Drug Nemolizumab that is to specifically treat PN, but not a cure. It is to be released to patients soon. After researching it, I believe it only comes in the injection form. No, it's not too much to ask for, but believe it has to be administered through the injection form, but I am at my wits ends after dealing with this on my scalp for 15 years will do whatever it takes to get some much needed relief from this horrific disease!😱 πŸ™
