Recent Findings from Marquette University Provides New Insights into Trichotillomania (Neurocognitive Functioning In Adults With Trichotillomania: Predictors Treatment Response and Symptom Severity In a Randomized Control Trial).

A recent study conducted at Marquette University explored the relationship between neurocognitive functioning and treatment outcomes in adults with Trichotillomania (TTM). The research found that better pre-treatment response inhibition predicted positive treatment response and lower post-treatment TTM symptom severity, regardless of the type of therapy received. Cognitive flexibility was not found to predict treatment response, and neither neurocognitive variable changed during treatment. The study highlights the importance of understanding neurocognitive factors in relation to hair pulling severity and treatment response in adults with TTM. [Extracted from the article]
