Too much sun? Cervical spine and neck instability? Both? We spoke about a condition of bilateral (both arms) upper arm itching called brachial radial pruritus that can be traced to the cervical spine nerve roots.Initially, she thought the itching was from too much sun.She was not sleeping and had tried many treatments and remedies to get rid of the itching. When this patient came in she was miserable.Steilen-Matias, PA-C: Attending clinician. Below are explanatory notes of points made during the video. This is a Hauser Neck Center at Caring Medical case study. In the research below we will discuss the researcher connecting the cervical spine to Brachioradial Pruritus and also discuss a case history. The doctors of this paper went on to describe a case of a young man with brachioradial pruritus and were diagnosed who was later discovered to have a C6-7 intramedullary cervical cord lesion. Dermatomal localization of pruritis has suggested cervical myeloradiculopathy as a novel etiology and this has been (discussed) in recent studies.” Hence, the patient is treated with local applications of sunscreens, anti-inflammatory agents, antihistamines, and steroids, most of which prove to be ineffective. The physical examination may be unremarkable except for mild pruritic lesions. It is “idiopathic” pruritus (the doctors are not sure what is causing it), presenting as severe itching. “Brachioradial pruritus is an enigmatic condition often encountered by dermatologists and passed off as a benign itch. A July 2021 research paper ( 11) made these observations on this apparent connection: Recently research has uncovered this connection. Recently research has uncovered a connection between Brachioradial Pruritus cervical spine instability It was coming from the patient’s neck and her cervical spine instability. It was an uncontrolled itching from an unknown source. In this article, we are going to present information on a very interesting case of “itching” in a patient that we treated. Is it a problem of the skin and skin rashes or is it a problem of neurology and a symptom more on its own? If you are reading this article the most important thing to you is that there is an answer to stop the itching no matter what is causing it. The problems of itching can in itself be challenging. Steilen-Matias, PA-CĪmong the many symptoms we see in our patients are problems of skin rashes and itching.
