A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of olanzapine in the treatment of trichotillomania.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Trichotillomania has been considered as part of the obsessive-compulsive disorder spectrum; however, trichotillomania treatment with obsessive-compulsive disorder medications has largely been unsuccessful.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a dopaminergic treatment as used in tics and Tourette's syndrome would be effective in trichotillomania.
