This study investigated the emotion regulation hypothesis of trichotillomania (TTM) using a retrospective self-report measure and an experimental hair-pulling task. Participants diagnosed with TTM (n=34) and nonclinical control (NC) volunteers (n=32) were compared on ratings of emotional experiences associated with hair pulling. Data from the retrospective self-report measure supported the emot...

Trichotillomania (TTM) is still a scarcely known and often inadequately treated disorder in Italian clinical settings, despite growing evidence about its severe and disabling consequences. The current study investigated the phenomenology of TTM in Italian individuals; in addition, we sought to examine patterns of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and OCD-related symptoms in individuals with TTM...

OBJECTIVE This study sought to identify predictors of relapse in a behavior therapy trial for trichotillomania (TTM), or hair-pulling disorder. Relapse is common after treatment for TTM, and only a few studies have examined what might predict relapse. METHOD Data was examined from a TTM treatment study with a stepped-care approach (step 1. web-based self-help; step 2. individual behavior ther...

This paper presents thread-level transactional memory (TTM), a memory system interface that separates the semantics of transactions—atomicity, consistency, and isolation—from the implementation. By making transactions a thread-level abstraction, TTM permits implementations using different combinations of of high-level software, low-level software, and dedicated hardware. TTM tracks a transactio...

Skin picking disorder (SPD) and trichotillomania (TTM) are common and oftentimes disabling disorders. 125 Participants with SPD and 152 with TTM undertook clinical and neurocognitive evaluation, and were grouped according to mild, moderate, or severe levels of psychosocial dysfunction. Relationships between functional impairment and other variables were explored using linear regression and cate...

In this project, we explore a novel framework for formal veriication of a real-time speciications of a machining system. A machining system falls under the broad category of a real-time system. The TTM/RTTL framework is used for speciication and veriication of a machining system. In TTM/RTTL framework, a machining system is modeled as a parallel composition of various modules each representing ...

Trichotillomania (TTM) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to pull out one's hair. Currently there are no FDA approved treatments for TTM, which makes it difficult for clinicians to select an appropriate therapeutic plan. The clinical studies that have been performed do not provide sufficient or consistent evidence regarding which drug classes should be administered....

PURPOSE To study the efficacy of traditional Thai massage (TTM) versus conventional physical therapy (PT) programs in treating muscle spasticity, functional ability, anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in Thai stroke patients. METHODS This randomized controlled trial with a blinded assessor was carried out at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Tha...

TTM has been historically classified into: mild (34.536.5°C), moderate (34.5-32°C), marked (28-32°C) and profound hypothermia (<28°C) [1,2]. The technique can be separated into three phases: induction, maintenance and rewarming; and each phase produces several changes in normal physiology. Very recent literature data pointed out that in real-world practices without a strictly controlled environ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate acute effects of traditional Thai massage (TTM) on brain electrical activity (electroencephalogram (EEG) signals), anxiety and pain in patients with scapulocostal syndrome (SCS). DESIGN A single-blind, randomized clinical trial. SETTING The School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. INTERVENTION Forty patien...
