DIalysis Symptom COntrol-Pruritus Outcome Trial (DISCO-POT): A Multicenter Randomized Blinded Placebo Controlled Crossover Trial.

Key takeaways

A new trial tested a drug called nabilone to help with itching in people on dialysis. The study was small, involving a limited number of participants over a few weeks. The results suggest the drug may help control itch, but more research is needed to confirm its long-term safety and effectiveness.
