Abstract:

Although onychophagia is a medical condition and is associated with poorer health, there are no guidelines for assessment or treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical aspects of nail biting from doctors’ points of view, to estimate the prevalence of onychophagia among physicians, and to review the literature on and treatment methods for onychophagia. Twenty-four percent of doctors reported nail-biting periods during their lifetimes, and 2% of them remained active nail biters. A total of 64.4% of doctors see nail biting in their practices, and 60.6% never or only on r

Abstract:

Background: Onychophagia, commonly known as nail biting, is considered a compulsive behavioral disorder primarily observed in children and adolescents. Nail biting behavior leads to an increased presence of various opportunistic microorganisms in the oral cavity. This study aimed to investigate the association between nail biting and mental health in children aged 10 to 16 years. It further compares the load of Enterobacteriaceae in nail-biters and non-nail biters. Methods: A case control study was conducted on 50 nail biters (cases) and 50 non-nail biters (controls).

Abstract. Psychological correlates of adult nail biting have received little empirical attention so far, despite its high prevalence and negative associations with physical and mental health. One possible correlate of nail biting is arousal modulation, which has also been linked to smoking (i.e., another oral behavior). Here, we link nail biting to an adaptive (i.e., Task-oriented) and two maladaptive stress-coping strategies (i.e., Emotion-oriented, Avoidance-oriented) as well as smoking while controlling for personality traits and socio-demographic characteristics.

Background:In the fields of psychiatry, psychology, medicine, and dentistry, nail biting (NB) is a prevalent yet unsolved issue.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTN-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a widely available nutraceutical with a variety of actions. As a precursor of cysteine and glutathione, it has antioxidant properties that may impact on mood and contribute to an effect on impulsivity and obsessive behaviour. Via its additional effect on glutamate via the cystine-glutamate exchange system, NAC has been shown to mediate impulsivity in preclinical models of addiction, reduce craving, and cue extinction. Further, by boosting glutathione, NAC acts as a potent antioxidant and has been shown in two positive, large-scale randomized placebo-controlle

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as nail biting, impact a wide demographic, and can negatively affect physical, psychological, and social well-being. Although pharmacological and behavioral therapies are common treatments, many avoid seeking help, and not everyone responds fully to treatment. Recent advances in wearable sensing enable new digital solutions that can detect BFRB episodes and intervene to mitigate them. While BFRBs have been extensively studied in medical research, translating this knowledge into effective digital intervention solutions may not be straightforward,

Abstract:

Onchyophagia or nail biting is the performance of repetitive actions of biting one’s nails often to the level of mutilation of the nail beds. It is a compulsive act most often seen in adolescents but may continue into adulthood, leading to deleterious consequences. Often spurred by anxiety and stress, this oral habit is not so readily addressed by patients and in turn not very much treated by dentists or physicians. This case report describes successful treatment of an adolescent patient with a nail biting habit, with an innovative intraoral fixed habit-breaker appliance.

Abstract:

The principles of R-S learning were applied to a 32-yr.-old Caucasian woman to reduce the frequency and duration of fingernail-biting activity in a reversal-replication (ABAB) research design. The undesirable behavior, fingernail-biting which included frequency and duration, antecedents, and setting events, was recorded during a 28-day study. Self-monitoring recordings indicated that anxiety was the most prevalent antecedent. Through the use of a preliminary questionnaire and interview, increase in self-awareness was judged to be most effective in the extinction of the un-desired behavior. The
