What this Trial Is About
Tourette syndrome TS is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder marked by involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. It begins in childhood and affects about 0.3 to 0.9% of people under 18, often accompanied by psychiatric conditions like ADHD and OCD. The cause is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors, with brain circuit dysfunctions playing a key role. Deep brain stimulation DBS is an invasive treatment option for severe, drug-resistant TS, but current continuous DBS methods may cause side effects or be less effective due to lack of adaptability. This research aims to identify brain activity patterns linked to tics to improve DBS methods.
