Functional connectivity predictive of efficacy for thalamic deep brain stimulation for Tourette Syndrome
Objective: To investigate whether outcome of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Tourette Syndrome can be predicted by functional connectivity estimates seeding from individual stimulation sites.…CBIT Response in Clinical Practice: The Potential Importance of Comorbidities and Tic location
Objective: 1) To evaluate whether comorbidities influence Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) response. 2) To evaluate the response of tic phenotypes and location to…Deep brain stimulation lead removal in Tourette syndrome: Data from the International Tourette DBS Registry and Database
Objective: To report on the extent and reasons underpinning DBS removal in TS patients by utilizing the data drawn from a large multi-country cohort. Background: Tourette…Modulation of Basal Ganglia and Internal Capsule Fiber Tracts During Deep Brain Stimulation for Tourette Syndrome
Objective: Our objective is to identify the fiber tracts modulated during deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and identify those associated…Efficacy of Deep Brain Stimulation for Japanese Patients with Refractory Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome
Objective: The efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Tourette syndrome (TS) was investigated in Japanese patients. Background: DBS is becoming an alternative treatment for…Transcranial direct current stimulation over the supplementary motor area in Tourette syndrome: Preliminary findings of a randomized controlled trial
Objective: To test safety and efficacy of inhibitory transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the supplementary motor area (SMA) for the treatment of tics. Background:…Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment did not improve Tics in a Patient with Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome and intrathecal Antibody Synthesis
Objective: Here we present the unique case of a female patient with GTS, who not only exhibited intrathecal antibody synthesis documented by positive OCBs, but…Ecopipam, a selective D1 antagonist in development for the treatment of Tourette syndrome in children and adolescents: The Phase 2b D1AMOND Study
Objective: To describe the Phase 2b study design and optimized dosing strategy to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ecopipam in children and adolescent subjects…Structural Connectivity Predicts Clinical Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation for Tourette Syndrome
Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the structural connectivity correlates of improvement in tics and obsessive-compulsive behavior (OCB) following deep brain stimulation…The Impact of Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders on Education, Occupational and Personal Life
Objective: To explore the impact of tic disorders on life outcomes in a “real world” sample of Tourette syndrome (TS) and tic disorder (TD) sufferers.…
