“…The 15.9 years age of onset identified in this study is almost 3 years older than the commonly reported 13 years age of onset (i.e., Christenson, 1995;Cohen et al, 1995;Mansueto, 1997;Schlosser, Black, Blum, & Goldstein, 1994;Swedo & Rapoport, 1991). Finding an older average age of onset in a community sample makes mathematical sense when we consider that a college-aged sample would have a truncated distribution that would have limited participation by older onset participants.…”

“…In fact, despite subjective appraisals in favour of DC, PMR might be an effective intervention for patients with TTM (and is a component of HRT, the gold standard for the treatment of TTM). It is comprehensible, easy to learn, and potentially reduces stress, anxiety and tension [17,52] , all of which are clinically documented to increase the urge to pull hair.…”

Michael (2015). Internet-based self-help for trichotillomania: A randomized controlled study comparing decoupling and progressive muscle relaxation. Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 84(6) through 6 months of follow-up. Participants' subjective appraisals favoured DC in some areas (e.g. greater satisfaction with DC than PMR). Completer analyses demonstrated the same pattern as the intention-to-treat analyses. Conclusions: Despite subjective appraisals in favour of DC, symptom reduction was comparable in the two groups. While the results suggest that even short Internet-based interventions like DC and PMR potentially help individuals with TTM, a partial effect of unspecific factors, like regression towards the mean, cannot be ruled out. Therefore, longitudinal studies with non-treated controls are warranted.

“…Investigadores como Gluhoski 51 esboçaram o potente papel de cognições que poderiam operar conjuntamente com variáveis de comportamento na etiologia e manutenção da TTM 51 . Em um estudo mais recente, foi apresentado um modelo para TTM em que sistematicamente se esboça a relação afetiva do comportamento e variáveis cognitivas com uma análise funcional do ato de arrancar cabelo 52,53 .…”

ResumoContexto: Relatada desde a Antiguidade, a tricotilomania (TTM) somente na última década despertou maior interesse clínico, sendo incluída no DSM-IV-TR (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4 th Text Revision) como um transtorno do controle dos impulsos não especificado. Dados recentes estimam uma prevalência em torno de 3%, indicando uma incidência mais comum do que se imaginava. Aspectos clínicos e terapêuticos ainda não estão totalmente definidos. Objetivo: Revisão sistemática da literatura de vários aspectos da tricotilomania pertinentes à teoria clínica e prática. Método: Os termos "trichotillomania", "epidemiology", "clinical characteristics", "etiology", "comorbidity" e "treatment" foram consultados nas bases de dados Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, PsycINFO e Cochrane Library. Resultados: Pesquisas com populações não clínicas sugerem que a TTM é mais comum do que se acreditava. Aspectos fenomenológicos, taxonômicos, comorbidades e possibilidades terapêuticas são discutidos. Conclusão: Apesar de um crescente número de estudos recentes, questões clínicas e terapêuticas permanecem em aberto. Com base nesta revisão da literatura, sugerem-se direções para diagnóstico, tratamento e futuras pesquisas.Toledo EL, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2010;37(6):251-9 Palavras-chave: Tricotilomania, etiologia, epidemiologia, diagnóstico, tratamento. AbstractBackground: Recognized since antiquity, only within the last decade has the subject of trichotillomania provoked any larger clinical interest since it has been included in the DSM-IV-TR (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4 th Text Revision) as a disturbance of the impulse-control disorders not elsewhere classified. Recent data estimates its prevalence at around 3%. Although more common than it was imagined before, clinical and therapeutic aspects are still not well defined. Objective: Systematic revision in the literature of several aspects of trichotillomania and its clinical and practical theory. Method: The term "trichotillomania", "its epidemiology", "clinical characteristics", "etiology", "comorbidity" and "treatment" were searched in the data bases of Medline/ PubMed, Lilacs, PsycINFO and Cochrane Library. Results: Research with no clinical populations suggests that TTM is more common than it was previously suspected. Phenomenological and taxonomical aspects, comorbidity as well as therapeutic possibilities are discussed. Conclusion: Despite a growing number of recent studies, clinical and therapeutic aspects remain undefined. Based on this literature's review, directions are suggested concerning diagnosis, treatment and future research.
