This study tests a noninvasive brain treatment called TMS to see if it can reduce tics in people with Tourette's syndrome or chronic tic disorder. It might help if standard medications haven't worked well enough.
This study follows teens with chronic tic disorders (like Tourette syndrome) for a few years to understand how their symptoms and social life change. It also looks at brain signals using EEG, but you can join the main study even if you can't do the EEG part.
This study tests a gentle electrical stimulation on the ear to see if it helps reduce tics (sudden, repeated movements or sounds) in children and teens with chronic tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome. It may offer a non-drug option for managing symptoms.
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 study tests whether a therapy called 'habit reversal training' can help reduce the strong urges that happen before tics. It is for children and teens (ages 8–17) who have at least 3 tics and feel a warning urge before each tic.
This study looks at how tics change during a type of behavior therapy for tics. It may help teens and young adults better understand what happens during treatment.
