Study Summary

This trial is studying Tourette Syndrome and Persistent Motor/Vocal Tic Disorder in young people. These conditions can cause problems with functioning, emotions, and behavior. The main symptom is chronic tics. The

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people with tic disorders, including Tourette Syndrome and Chronic Tic Disorder. Participants should be experiencing chronic tics that impact their daily life. The study aims to help them manage their symptoms through a treatment called CBIT.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), which teaches patients how to control tics using competing motor actions. It involves an 8-session course where the effectiveness of CBIT will be evaluated through various assessments and video recordings.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since CBIT is a behavioral intervention rather than a medication, it does not have typical drug side effects. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during the learning process of new techniques to manage their tics.
