research The Opiate Antagonist, Naltrexone, in the Treatment of Trichotillomania

69 citations, October 2013 in “Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology”

This study investigated the effectiveness of naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, in treating trichotillomania (TTM) in 51 adults over an 8-week, double-blind trial. While naltrexone did not significantly reduce hair pulling compared to placebo, it did improve cognitive flexibility (P = 0.026).

The findings suggested that future research should explore the potential of targeting the opiate system for managing TTM in specific subgroups.
