Clinical Trial Summary

Double-blind randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial of 1 mA bilateral supplementary motor area in adolescents/adults with Tourette syndrome (TS). The primary objectives are to assess and quantify the safety and efficacy on tic severity of 5 inhibitory sessions of active vs. sham tDCS sessions during active tic suppression, and to explore the differences in brain functional activity before and after 5 sessions of active or sham cathodal tDCS in adolescents and adults with TS. Secondary objectives include the assessment of the severity of comorbidities after 5 inhibitory tDCS sessions.
