I edited the second sentence, added by someone else, to make it grammatical; but is there any evidence for its truth? In perusing the two linked sources, I didn't see any support for the sentence.

The sentence reads: "Referred itch" may also refer to the phenomenon in which one feels an itch on one part of the body, but upon attempting to scratch it comes to experience it in a different location, although the scratch on the original part of the body feels like it is successfully targeting the itch.

Even in its edited form I don't think the sentence adds anything to the article, and should be removed. Alf Boggis 10:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
