research Cognitive training in patients with Trichotillomania (Hair-pulling Disorder)
The study investigated the efficacy of cognitive working memory training (CWMT) in reducing symptoms of hair-pulling disorder (HPD) in 30 participants. Over a 5-week period, participants underwent CWMT or a control condition involving puzzle building. Results showed that CWMT significantly decreased hair-pulling severity compared to the control at 5 weeks and 3 months, although the difference was not significant at 3 months. Working memory improved immediately post-training, but there were no baseline impairments in impulse control and emotional regulation, nor did CWMT impact these areas more than the control. Participants found CWMT feasible and acceptable, reporting increased openness about symptoms and feeling less isolated. The study concluded that CWMT was a feasible and effective intervention for HPD, warranting further research on its mechanisms and cost-efficiency in larger trials.
