背景：病理性皮肤挑拣（PSP）和拔毛癖（TTM）是两种具有共同临床特征的重复性行为。然而，没有研究已经进行了检查PSP，TTM之间的临床和现象学的差异，以及那些人与PSP + TTM共病诊断。我们试图研究这三组之间的相似性和差异，从临床viewpoint.Methods。77例受试者与PSP，TTM，或PSP + TTM进行了分析。他们是由研究对象和门诊病人自愿提出的治疗在一个大的，公立大学medical center.Results.There是远远超过TTM，PSP，PSP + TTM的科目的差异相似之处。然而，显着差异，被发现在采摘/拉，触发的行为，共病抑郁症的比率，和家族史的PSP.Conclusions.This代表了第一次比较PSP，TTM，和共病PSP + TTM的文献。这三组的总体临床表现和严重程度似乎非常相似。然而，还需要进一步的研究来验证我们的发现，并应重点关注可能实现有效治疗的方法。
Background.Pathologic Skin Picking (PSP) and trichotillomania (TTM) are repetitive behaviors presumed to share clinical characteristics. However, no studies have been conducted examining the clinical and phenomenological differences between PSP, TTM, and those persons with a comorbid PSP + TTM diagnosis. We sought to examine the similarities and differences between these three groups from a clinical viewpoint.Methods.Seventy-seven subjects with PSP, TTM, or PSP + TTM were analyzed for this study. They are comprised of both research subjects and outpatient clinic patients who voluntarily presented for treatment at a large, public university medical center.Results.There were far more similarities than differences in subjects with TTM, PSP, and PSP + TTM. Significant differences, however, were found in time spent picking/pulling, triggers to the behaviors, rates of comorbid depressive disorders, and family history of PSP.Conclusions.This represents the first comparison of PSP, TTM, and comorbid PSP + TTM in the literature. It appears that the three groups are quite similar in their overall clinical presentation and severity. However, further research is needed to validate our findings and should focus on ways in which effective treatment may be achieved.
