Summary

This pilot study tests whether hypnosis can help children aged 8 to 17 with atopic dermatitis (eczema). The experimental group will learn a 'superhero costume' hypnosis technique and practice self-hypnosis at home. The study only aims to see if a larger trial is possible, not to prove hypnosis works. It involves 32 participants in Réunion.
