Overview

This study aims to establish a novel personalized closed-loop NiBS/TMS therapeutic strategy and clinical protocol for children with Tic Disorders (TDs) through a series of scientific investigations. Additionally, it seeks to elucidate the underlying neural circuit mechanisms, enhance the therapeutic efficacy of TMS in pediatric TDs, and achieve precision neuromodulation for children with TDs.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1: WISC-R Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FIQ) \<70 2: Presence of metal implants in the body ,Non-right-handedness 3: Head movement (HM) \>2mm during fMRI scanning, including both translational movement (TM) and rotational movement (RM) 4: Any other neurological or psychiatric conditions, including but not limited to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), epilepsy, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), etc 5: Previous head trauma ,Neurological diseases ,Major systemic illnesses

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
