Summary
This study tests whether dupilumab (Dupixent) can improve sleep and reduce itching in 40 children aged 6-17 with moderate to severe eczema. Participants receive dupilumab for 12 weeks, and researchers measure sleep quality and itch using questionnaires and overnight sleep tests. The goal is to see if treating the skin condition also helps kids sleep better.
