CIndU by Subtype: The Burden Behind the Numbers

The broader findings tell only part of the story. Looking separately at symptomatic dermographism, cold urticaria, and cholinergic urticaria, Dr Brownstone explores the differences in disease control across subtypes and the practical limitations of trigger avoidance. For some patients, managing symptoms means giving up exercise, changing daily routines, or avoiding activities they enjoy. He discusses how the Urticaria Control Test, alongside a more deliberate conversation about what patients are avoiding, can help clinicians recognize a burden that may otherwise go unreported.
