Summary

This project will examine the effect using the Keen 2 on hair pulling styles (automatic and focused), the severity of hair pulling behaviors, and related psychiatric symptoms. Given that the Keen2 is anticipated to increase awareness of pulling behavior (but not necessarily change pulling behavior), the investigators hypothesize that the Keen 2 will increase awareness of pulling behaviors and reduce automatic pulling behavior. The investigators will explore reductions in overall hair pulling severity and related psychiatric symptoms.

Conditions

  • Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder)
  • Trichotillomania
  • Hair Pulling

Interventions

DEVICE

HabitAware Keen2

Participants will receive an awareness bracelet to be worn on the dominant wrist over a period of 4 weeks. The bracelet device will vibrate when the participant is engaging in hair pulling behaviors. As hair pulling behaviors may occur outside of awareness (i.e., automatic pulling behaviors), this vibration and detection is anticipated to increase the participants awareness of hair pulling behaviors.
