Background: Neuropeptides appear to participate in the pathogenesis of: chronic urticaria. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cutaneous responses to substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in delayed pressure urticaria patients (DPUpt) and chronic idiopathic urticaria patients (CIUpt) compared to healthy adults (HA), and also to evaluate the effect of H-1-antagonists on these responses.Methods: Wheal (W) and flare (F) reactions to intradermally (ID) injected SP, CGRP, histamine (H), and diluent controls were evaluated in nine CIUpt, nine DPUpt, and nine HA at 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after injection. Maximal W and F, area under curve (AVC), and time of W and F disappearance were calculated at baseline and 4 h after a single dose of 20 mg cetirizine (Ce), 4mg dimethindene (Di), or placebo (P), in a double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC), crossover, randomized study.Results: CIUpt exhibited enhanced and longer lasting W reactions to SP and CGRP (AUC: P
