Trichotillomania (TTM) is an obsessive-compulsive disorder characterized by recurrent hair pulling, leading to hair loss or alopecia. Treating TTM is challenging and involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective but not suitable for all patients. Alternative support tools like electronic devices, internet therapies, and microneedling are suggested. N-acetylcysteine and memantine are recommended as first-line treatments due to their safety and efficacy, with minimal adverse effects. Other drugs such as fluoxetine, clomipramine, olanzapine, and naltrexone show limited and variable efficacy. This review discusses current treatment options for managing TTM.
research Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Series of 122 Patients
The study analyzed the effectiveness of low-dose oral minoxidil in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) in a case series of 122 patients across centers in Brazil and Spain. Results showed that 45.1% of patients experienced improvement in the density of the frontotemporal hairline, with 34.4% showing mild, 9.0% moderate, and 1.6% excellent improvement. Additionally, 57.4% saw improved hair density in the interparietal area, 25.4% experienced eyebrow growth, and 3.3% had eyelash growth. Adverse effects were reported in 33.6% of patients, with hypertrichosis being the most common at 23.8%. The study suggests oral minoxidil as a complementary therapy for FFA, enhancing hair and eyebrow growth and frontotemporal hairline density.
