Dear all,
We are conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis on the best, evidence-based, available treatments for patients diagnosed with nail biting (onychophagia).
Could you help us to find studies and research on the pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment of these patients?
Many thanks in advance,
Julio
you need to search in data bases (pubmed,scopus,ISIweb of knowledge,goodle scholar,VHL,GHL ,and chochrane library)
to make search strategy and begin your journy with screening to determine the included studies according to your criterea.

Not really research, but when I began Zoloft I stopped biting my nails after 40 years. You might look under generalized anxiety as the diagnosis for nail biting is somewhat rare.

as far as i know there are no information or study aiming to compare the effectiveness of different trearapeutic approach for treating nail biting.
However we will published a study in a sample of 24 patient to present the effectiveness of dental approach to treat this behaviour.
