Overview

Review synthesizes neurobiology and treatment outcomes for trichotillomania, indicating new therapeutic strategies.

Key Points

  • Neurobiological insights reveal that trichotillomania involves dysregulated reward circuits and abnormal sensory processing, leading to innovative treatments.
  • Behavior therapy shows robust symptom improvement, while pharmacological innovations target glutamatergic and dopaminergic pathways for effective care.
  • Literature review across databases from 2000–2025 integrated clinical phenomenology and emerging digital health interventions.
  • Persistent gaps highlight stigma-related underdiagnosis and limited provider training in managing this disorder.
