Homeopathic treatment of trichotillomania: a case report
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Trichotillomania is a psychiatric disorder characterized by compulsive hair- pulling, leading to hair loss. This case report presents a homeopathic treatment of a 10-year-old female patient suffering from severe hair loss from the frontal and parietal regions of the scalp due to compulsive hair pulling, along with facial dullness and lack of mental expressions. The intervention involved a single dose of Arsenicum album in CM potency, followed by Rubrum 30 B.D. for five months, without any concurrent behavioral or cognitive therapies. Remarkable improvement was observed, with cessation of hair-pulling behavior and complete hair regrowth. The ORIDL Score was used to assess the case outcome. This case report supports the effectiveness of individualized homeopathic treatments in managing Trichotillomania and the accompanying conditions.
