What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a combined treatment for young people aged 12 to 21 with chronic tics, including Tourette Syndrome. Chronic tics are disabling symptoms linked to various child-onset mental disorders and can greatly affect quality of life, emotional and behavioral health, and increase suicide risk. The study focuses on improving tic suppression ability, which is key for success in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics CBIT, but many youth lack this ability. This trial assesses the clinical and brain effects of combining CBIT with transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS targeting the supplementary motor area SMA.
