Summary
This pilot study tests whether using a neck traction device at home can help people with neuropathic itch (itching caused by nerve issues) reduce their dose of gabapentin or pregabalin. The study will enroll 12 adults who have had a stable dose of these medications for at least 4 weeks. Participants will use neck traction daily for 12 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in medication use and itch severity.
