Filter by:The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of Atomoxetine, a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, on impulsivity in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
Tourette's Syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disease characterized tics that start before the age of 18 years. About 5% of cases do not respond to drug treatment and can be classified as refractory and in these cases surgical treatment, with deep brain stimulation, appears as a therapeutic possibility, but with still conflicting results. Our hypothesis is that DBS in Forel's H Field could improve tourette's symptoms, neurological and psychiatric ones.
This study seeks to address two key questions related to sensory dysregulation in Tourette syndrome (TS) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD): 1) Is sensory dysregulation in OCD clinically distinct from that in TS? 2) To what extent does sensory dysregulation affect QOL in each of these disorders? Patients with TS, patients with OCD, and healthy controls will complete an online battery of validated questionnaires assessing sensory dysregulation, psychiatric symptoms, and quality of life.
This study is designed to demonstrate an in-house developed re-attachable stereotactic system that can markedly reduce the overall deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure time to greatly facilitate subject access to neurosurgical restorative therapies. Subjects will consist exclusively of individuals who have been approved to undergo deep brain stimulation surgery for the treatment of a neurological disorder at Mayo Clinic - Rochester MN. This study is a quantitative comparative, between-subject study enrolling approximately 10 subjects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a computerized handwriting training protocol (MovAlyzeR), through daily practice of handwriting on an electronic device to improve handwriting skills in children with tic disorders (TD).
The study intends to evaluate the role of Mirror Neurons in the determination of gestures, words, and repetitive vocalizations in subjects affected by Tourette's syndrome and to verify if these subjects are faster to assemble sounds, in phonology and morphology, than the non-pathological population.
In children with neurodevelopmental disorders, adolescence is usually associated with a reshaping of the clinical picture and symptomatology. Tourette syndrome (TS) is a paradigmal neurodevelopmental syndrome characterised by involuntary paroxysmal movements (motor tics) and vocalisation (vocal tics) often associated with various psychiatric disorders. The neuronal and cognitive mechanisms associated with TS symptoms improvement during adolescence, or the persistence in adulthood remains unknown, and this is what we aim to address in this study.
continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) is a safe and effective device for Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome treatment. GPi is an agreed curative target of deep brain stimulation. GPi-based functional connectivity peak voxel in the SMA can be the cTBS target.
This study was an international, multicenter, open-label, long term extension study evaluating the safety of ecopipam tablets for the treatment of children and adolescent subjects with Tourette Syndrome.
To evaluate the effect and acceptability of an Internet-based comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (ICBIT) in a sample of children and adolescents with Tic disorders. children and adolescents (aged 8-17 years) with Tourette Syndrome (TS) or Chronic Tic Disorder (CTD) and their parents will be randomly assigned to receive either an Internet-based ICBIT or wait-list (WL).
