以繪畫表達治療轉變：異位性皮膚炎雙胞胎學童治療成效的視覺化分析

Visualizing Treatment Changes in Atopic Dermatitis: A Graffiti-based Analysis of Treatment Outcomes in Twin Children

本研究觀察了兩名八歲雙胞胎，因嚴重異位性皮膚炎接受口服藥物和Dupilumab注射一年後的治療結果。探討使用自畫像來觀察這些年幼孩子的身體和心理變化，因為他們表達情感的能力有限。在研究過程中，觀察到她們的臨床症狀有所改善，如嚴重的皮膚紅、脫屑、瘙癢、潰瘍、出血和感染，只剩下少數傷口。與此同時，她們的自畫像也顯示了進展，皮膚出血減少和傷口變少，面部表情也不那麼憂鬱。這些繪畫結果與我們的觀察一致，表明Dupilumab在兒童異位性皮膚炎的身體治療有效。這種方法為全面評估治療效果提供了一種新途徑。

This study looks at the treatment results of two 8-year-old twins who received oral medication and Dupilumab injections for one year due to severe atopic dermatitis. We explored the use of self-portrait drawings to monitor physical and mental changes in these young children, who have limited ability to express their feelings. During the study, we observed improvement in their clinical symptoms, such as severe skin redness, scaling, itching, ulcers, bleeding, and infections, with only a few wounds remaining. At the same time, their self-portraits also showed progress, with less skin bleeding, fewer wounds, and facial expressions that appeared less sad. These drawing results matched our observations, showing that Dupilumab is effective both physically and mentally in treating atopic dermatitis in children. This approach offers a new way to fully assess treatment outcomes.
