Can a brief mind therapy stop the Itch-Scratch cycle?

NCT ID NCT06427122

Summary

This study tested whether adding a short psychological therapy (called EMD-U) to usual care could improve life quality for adults with eczema or prurigo nodularis who have severe scratching problems. The therapy combines techniques from different talk therapies to help reduce the urge to scratch. Researchers compared the therapy plus usual care to usual care alone in 96 participants over 8 weeks.
