Neurological soft signs in female trichotillomania patients, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, and healthy control subjects.
Female trichotillomania patients, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, and normal control subjects did not differ in total scores on a neurological soft signs battery. Further studies should determine whether the increased neurological soft signs present in obsessive-compulsive disorder and perhaps in obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders are associated with male gender only.
