Tourette research using records from deep brain stimulation patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is collecting information about people with severe Tourette syndrome who are not adequately helped by medication and may receive deep brain stimulation. It helps researchers understand outcomes and care patterns for this treatment over time using an observational database.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Tourette syndrome that is severe
- Medication has not worked well enough for you
- You are being considered for deep brain stimulation on both sides of the brain
- You agree to take part voluntarily and understand what participation means
- You are covered by the French social security system (not including AME)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at brain activity in people with Tourette syndrome who are already receiving deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses electrical pulses to help control tics). The goal is to learn more about the brain signals linked to tics, which could help improve future treatments.
This trial tests a surgical procedure using deep brain stimulation to treat severe Tourette syndrome that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help reduce tics by targeting specific areas in the brain.
This trial tests a brain stimulation device (RNS) for people with Tourette's syndrome whose symptoms haven't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce tics and improve quality of life.
This study looks at brain activity and how sensory experiences feel in adults with Tourette syndrome. It compares you to carefully matched adults without neurologic or psychiatric conditions to understand what is different in the brain.
This study looks at repetitive behaviors in people with OCD or Tourette syndrome. It uses MRI scans to understand the brain, and aims to help improve treatments for these conditions.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with severe Tourette's syndrome that hasn't improved with medication or behavioral therapy. DBS uses a device implanted in the brain to send electrical signals that may reduce tics.
