Management of sulfur mustard-induced chronic pruritus: a review of clinical trials

Yunes Panahi et al. Cutan Ocul Toxicol. 2012 Sep.

Abstract

Skin is among the most heavily damaged organs upon sulfur mustard (SM) exposure. Chronic complications due to SM-induced dermatotoxicity are quite frequent among intoxicated patients. Nevertheless, the exact pathophysiology of SM-induced chronic cutaneous complications has not been well clarified yet. The present review highlights clinically important findings on the management of SM-induced chronic skin complications with a particular focus on pruritus as the most prevalent symptom that has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Some methodological pitfalls that implicate the validity of the trials have also been identified.
