dimethyl sulfoxide and Pruritus

dimethyl sulfoxide has been researched along with Pruritus in 7 studies

Dimethyl Sulfoxide: A highly polar organic liquid, that is used widely as a chemical solvent. Because of its ability to penetrate biological membranes, it is used as a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals. It is also used to protect tissue during CRYOPRESERVATION. Dimethyl sulfoxide shows a range of pharmacological activity including analgesia and anti-inflammation.
dimethyl sulfoxide : A 2-carbon sulfoxide in which the sulfur atom has two methyl substituents.

Pruritus: An intense itching sensation that produces the urge to rub or scratch the skin to obtain relief.
