intense scratching -- to the point of drawing blood -- is the only thing that relieves chronic itch.

Yep. Been there.

The headline makes it sound as though one of the Great Mysteries of Life has been solved, but buried in the story is this: "One drawback to the study is that the scratching occurred in the absence of itch" - making the study all but useless. How hard would it have been to create a genuine itch (a cheap wool scarf? some poison ivy?) and a real need to scratch?
