Head-to-Head trial: therapy vs. pill for compulsive behaviors
NCT ID NCT05796752
Summary
This study aims to find out which treatment works better for adults with compulsive hair-pulling or skin-picking disorders: a medication called memantine or a specialized behavioral therapy. Each of the 26 participants will try both treatments for 8 weeks each. The researchers believe the behavioral therapy will lead to better results, but that both treatments will help reduce symptoms.
