For some patients, it is sometime difficult to distinguish the nature of the …
Remote Delivery of a Mindfulness-based Intervention for Tics
This research study is being done to compare a mindfulness-based intervention for tics (MBIT) to psychoeducation with relaxation and supportive therapy (PRST) for individuals with Tourette's syndrome or Persistent Tic Disorders (collectively TS). It is the investigator's hope that this information cam be used to improve current treatments for individuals …
Multitarget Stereotactic Electrophysiological Recording and Stimulation for Tourette Syndrome
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying Tourette syndrome (TS) and see if personalized deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help reduce tics in TS patients and improve related issues like anxiety, attention problems, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. In this study, researchers will use stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) …
Investigating Changes in Premonitory Urges During Habit Reversal Training for Tics
The primary aim of this study is to learn more about premonitory urges (PU) when using Habit Reversal Training (HRT) to treat tics. The main focus of this study is to investigate if and when PU change during tic treatment sessions and between tic treatment sessions. Participants will: Attend 5 …
Neurofeedback From the Supplementary Motor Area for Tourette Syndrome
This is a clinical trial where adolescents aged 10-16 years old with Tourette Syndrome (or chronic tic disorder) are randomized to receive either real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback targeting the supplementary motor area (for the experimental intervention) or real-time fMRI neurofeedback (NF) from a control region (for the …
Internet-based Behavior Therapy for Adults With Tourette Syndrome
This study protocol outlines a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Internet-delivered behavior therapy (BT) based on exposure with response prevention (ERP) for adults with Tourette syndrome (TS) or chronic tic disorder (CTD). The primary aim is to evaluate the effects of Internet-delivered ERP-based BT …
Cognitive-psychophysiological Treatment for Tics in Young People With Tourette's Syndrome With or Without Biofeedback
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of CoPs therapy with or without the therapeutic component of biofeedback in treating tics in Tourette Syndrome with emerging young adults. Hypotheses The CoPs+Biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics (YGTSS) and the Clinical Global Impression, surpassing the …
CBIT+TMS R33 Phase
Chronic tics are a disabling neuropsychiatric symptom associated with multiple child-onset mental disorders. Chronic tics affect 1-3% of youth 1 and are associated with impaired functioning, emotional and behavioral problems, physical pain, diminished quality of life, peer victimization, and a fourfold increased risk of suicide compared to the general population. …
Clinical Characteristics and Temporal Properties of Individual Tics in Persistent Tic Disorder
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the timing of tics (sudden, fast movements and sounds that people do and make without meaning to) in people who have multiple tics that have been going on for more than one year. The main questions it aims to …
