The usefulness of heart rate variability in adolescents with ticdisorder: Focused on interplay with quality of life. Ticdisorders, characterized by involuntary movements or vocalizations, are influenced by neurological and psychological factors. Although an imbalance in neurotransmitter systems, genetic factors, and environmental influences play a significant role in the expression of ticdisorders, the precise mechanisms through which autonomic changes influence tic production are not fully understood yet. This study investigates the relationship between ticdisorders and heart rate variability (HRV), a physiological marker of autonomic nervous system function. The study sought to identify correlations among tic symptoms, HRV indices, and perceived quality of life. In a cohort of 69
Sex Differences in Natural History and Health Outcomes Among Individuals With TicDisorders. To analyze sex differences in outcomes in Tourette syndrome (TS) and Persistent Motor or Vocal ticdisorders (PMVT) in the Tourette Association of America International Consortium for Genetics (TAAICG) dataset.

Rapid Compensation for Noisy Voluntary Movements in Adults with Primary TicDisorders. It has been proposed that tics and premonitory urges in primary ticdisorders (PTD), like Tourette syndrome, are a manifestation of sensorimotor noise. However, patients with tics show no obvious movement imprecision in everyday life. One reason could be that patients have strategies to compensate for noise
Association between body mass index and ticdisorders in school-age children. To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI ) and the severity of ticdisorders (TDs) in children 6-14 years old. A total of 86 children diagnosed with TDs in a hospital between Jan. 2023 and Sept. 2023 were collected by convenient sampling method, and the general data and TD-specific data were collected
The Effect of Nabiximols on Driving Ability in Adults with Chronic TicDisorders: Results of a Substudy Analysis of the Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled CANNA-TICS Trial. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, phase IIIb CANNA-TICS (CANNAbinoids in the treatment of TICS) trial showed clear trends for improvement of tics, depression, and quality of life with nabiximols versus placebo in adult patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and other chronic ticdisorders. Although in general nabiximols was well tolerated, it is unclear whether treatment using this cannabis extract influences driving skills in patients with chronic ticdisorders. Here we report results of the "Fitness to Drive" substudy of the CANNA-TICS trial. The key endpoint was fitness
Ticdisorder in allergic rhinitis children and adolescents: a case-control study. Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disease. It can accompany psychological disorders such as ticdisorders due to the prolonged course of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This pioneer case-control study aims to investigate ticdisorders in children and adolescents under 18 years of age diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. The case group in this study consisted of patients who had both allergic rhinitis and ticdisorders. Patients with allergic rhinitis without ticdisorders were also enrolled as the control group with matched gender and age. Demographic characteristics, tic classifications, and contributing factors for allergic rhinitis and ticdisorders were studied among the cases. Ticdisorders were
Effect of acupuncture on ticdisorder: a randomized controlled clinical trial based on energy metabolomics and infrared thermography. Acupuncture is a method for treating ticdisorder. However, there is a lack of sufficient clinical objective basis in regards of its treatment efficacy. Indeed, there are structural abnormalities present in energy metabolism and infrared thermography in children with ticdisorder. Therefore, this study proposes a clinical trial scheme to explore the possible mechanism of acupuncture in treating ticdisorder. This randomized controlled trial will recruit a total of 90 children, in which they will be divided into non-intervention group and intervention group. The non-intervention group consists of 30 healthy children while the intervention group consists of 60
Perceived Negative Effects of Tic Management Strategies in Adults With TicDisorders. Behavior therapy is a well-established and empirically supported treatment for ticdisorders (TDs). However, concerns have been expressed about the negative effects of behavioral interventions, such as tic worsening, tic substitution, and excessive effort. This study explored perceived negative effects of tic
Volatile oil from Acori graminei Rhizoma affected the synaptic plasticity of rats with ticdisorders by modulating dopaminergic and glutamatergic systems.
Exploring the psychometric properties of the premonitory urge for tics scale (PUTS) and its association with psychiatric symptoms in Chinese children with ticdisorders. The Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (PUTS) is a common self-report measure of premonitory urges for patients with ticdisorders. This study aims to evaluate the Chinese version of the PUTS (PUTS-C) and to explore its association with psychiatric symptoms in Chinese children diagnosed with ticdisorders. The psychometric evaluation involved 204 outpatients with ticdisorders, aged 7-16 years, who were divided into two age groups: (7-10 years, n = 103; 11-16 years, n = 95). The PUTS-C demonstrated good internal consistency (McDonald'sω = 0.84) and two-week test-retest reliability (0.76). We observed a statistically significant correlation
Description, Implementation, and Efficacy of the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics as First-Line Treatment for Tourette and Other TicDisorders. To provide an evidence-based review of the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tic (CBIT) disorders. For close to a century, behavioral interventions for managing tics associated with Tourette and other ticdisorders (TDs) were
Healthcare utilisation and costs associated with poor access to diagnosis and treatment for children and young people with ticdisorders. There are no specific national guidelines in England to guide healthcare professionals in how to assess or treat young people with ticdisorders. Access to evidence-based treatment, including behavioural therapy, is of limited availability. This study examined the economic impact on services arising from a lack of access to appropriate healthcare services for young people with ticdisorders, alongside the impact on school attendance. This study used data from the randomised controlled trial 'ORBIT' (Online Remote Behavioural Intervention for Tics). ORBIT compared online exposure and response prevention behavioural therapy for tics with online psychoeducation
All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality in Tourette Syndrome and Chronic TicDisorder. Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic ticdisorder (CTD) may be associated with an increased risk of mortality, but specific causes of death are poorly understood. In this matched cohort and sibling cohort study, we estimated the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in individuals with TS/CTD, compared
