Hello and welcome to HCM
Constant itching all over the body can be due to local skin condition or systemic disorder.
Since, you have already had systemic investigations, possibility of systemic disorder is ruled out.
Next you need to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.
Intense itching of this kind can be seen in infections like scabies, autoimmune disorders, etc.
Clinical assessment and investigations will be helpful to manage the condition.

Thanks and take care
