PROGRAM OVERVIEW

A rare neuroinflammatory, immune-mediated skin disease, prurigo nodularis (PN) causes a relentless itch that no amount of scratching will satisfy. It can destroy a patient’s quality of life and ability to sleep, and sadly, going to a doctor often provides no relief as PN is frequently misdiagnosed and inadequately treated.

Watch, listen, and learn as our world-renowned PN experts engage in a lively conversation about the triumphs and turmoil of diagnosing and treating PN from both the patient and dermatologist peer perspectives.

Learning Objectives
TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity has been designed to meet the needs of dermatologists, family practice physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and members of the healthcare team who manage patients with PN.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Review criteria for PN diagnosis and severity assessment
  • Describe the disease burden of PN and its effect on quality of life
  • Select treatments for PN that target the dysregulated molecular drivers at the pathogenic core of this neuroimmune inflammatory disease
  • Evaluate efficacy and safety findings from recently released clinical trials of recently approved and emerging treatments for PN
