This study tests whether combining a brain stimulation technique called TMS with behavioral therapy can reduce tics in adolescents and young adults. If you have had tics for at least a year and they are moderate or severe, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests a behavioral therapy (CBIT) for children with tics. It uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to see how the therapy works. It may be a good fit for a child who has had tics for at least a year and hasn't had much of this therapy before.
This study tests a structured behavior-based therapy (CBIT) to help reduce tic symptoms that interfere with daily life. You and a parent/caregiver work together during visits and questionnaires to see if treatment helps.
This trial tests a talking therapy that helps manage tics by changing thoughts and feelings. Some people also get biofeedback, which uses sensors to help control body responses. Researchers want to see which approach works better for reducing tics in teens and young adults with Tourette's syndrome or bothersome tics.
