Mobile app behavioral therapy for youth with tic disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a mobile app can help children and teens reduce tic symptoms using behavioral treatment strategies. It may help if your tics are affecting your daily life and you have not had very recent tic-specific behavioral training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosed long-term tic condition (either motor and/or vocal tics), such as Tourette syndrome

- Your IQ is 70 or higher (not below 70)
