Brief Summary:
The main purpose of this study is to adapt cognitive behavior therapy CBT to improve itch in children with eczema
Detailed Description:
Eczema is characterized by chronic itch Many children develop a chronic focus rumination on their itch Rumination is a maladaptive method of responding to distress in which the individual thinks obsessively about the source of distress The rumination on chronic itch in eczema can have detrimental effects on ones quality of life as well as induce significant anxiety about when itch will return how long it will last and how it will affect physical and social functioning
Cognitive behavior therapy CBT is a frontline treatment for rumination as it focuses on teaching strategies so that the individual can examine distressing thoughts objectively and determine their validity replace negative thinking patterns with more adaptive thought patterns and increase the individuals awareness to their problematic thought patterns Additionally CBT helps the individual to implement behavioral strategies to cope with possibly anxiety-inducing situations such as scratching while trying to go to sleep
The investigators hypothesize that an Itch CBT intervention is an effective non-medication-based easy to implement strategy to improve itch in children with eczema
