Summary

This study tests whether a computerized training program designed to improve response inhibition — the ability to stop an automatic action — can reduce symptoms in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, trichotillomania (hair-pulling), or skin-picking disorder. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the active training or a placebo version over 8 to 16 sessions. The researchers measure changes in symptom severity and brain activity using MRI scans to see if the training works and how.
