Official title

Open Label Trial of Aripiprazole in Trichotillomania.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

No medication has been reliably shown to benefit those suffering from trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling). The current study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication aripiprazole for treatment of trichotillomania (TTM). Patients will take a gradually increased dose of the medication in an open-label study to see whether it relieves hair-pulling urges, decreases hair pulling behavior and is well tolerated.
