Feasibility Study for Treating Trichotillomania With Wearable Device and App System
NCT04241120 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Trichotillomania is characterized by recurrent hair pulling resulting in hair loss causing significant distress and impairment which persists despite repeated attempts to stop. Behavioral based therapies focused on increasing awareness of hair pulling followed by the use of an incompatible behavior have proven effective. In an effort to enhance awareness, a wrist worn motion detection device was created. In this study, we will test the feasibility of the HabitAware device and accompanying app as a system for delivering self-administered habit reversal training (HRT).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04241120
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04241120 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 15 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is HabitAware, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Trichotillomania appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Device and app system designed for participant to self-administer Habit Reversal Training is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04241120 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
