Gloves, tighter sleeping clothes that are hard to get under (like spandex), and having someone there when she sleeps are all possibly helpful. Nothing is going to fix this problem but good cognitive-behavioral therapy and a motivation to get better.
My best female friend is a constant scratcher. I always catch her doing it and tell her to stop. She is also a sleep-scratcher, and when we were dorm roommates, I used to wake her up to make her stop scratching. Perhaps if someone could stay over with her and observe her to make sure she isn't scratching that would help her control the behavior.
