This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing whether hypnosis—a focused, guided relaxation technique—can help children and teenagers manage atopic dermatitis (a chronic skin condition that causes itching and inflammation). The trial will compare two groups: one receiving standard skin care education alone, and another receiving that same education plus hypnosis sessions. Researchers hope this treatment will reduce itching, improve sleep, and help young people feel better overall.
Atopic dermatitis is a difficult, long-lasting skin condition that significantly impacts children's quality of life, often causing intense itching and emotional stress. While a few small studies suggest hypnosis may help reduce itching and improve symptoms, the evidence is limited and needs to be tested more rigorously in a controlled trial.

You will be randomly assigned to either a standard skin care education program or the same program plus hypnosis sessions. The hypnosis sessions involve guided, relaxing audio recordings designed to help reduce stress and itching. You'll complete assessments before and after the program to see how your skin and symptoms change, and you may be asked questions about your sleep, mood, and quality of life.
