NCT05558566
This is a clinical trial where adolescents aged 10-16 years old with Tourette Syndrome (or chronic tic disorder) are randomized to receive either real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback targeting the supplementary motor area (for the experimental intervention) or real-time fMRI neurofeedback (NF) from a control region (for the control intervention).
NCT06873841
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of CoPs therapy with or without the therapeutic component of biofeedback in treating tics in Tourette Syndrome with emerging young adults. Hypotheses: 1. The CoPs+Biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics (YGTSS) and the Clinical Global Impression, surpassing the clinical significance threshold of CoPs treatment alone. 2. We expect that the identified variables (psychosocial, neurocognitive, biological) will predict the improvement of tics. Researchers will compare if the biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics. * In the pre-test, participants will undergo two interviews, each lasting 3 hours. These interviews will assess (through a battery of tests) the severity of tics as well as the psychosocial, biological, and neurocognitive aspects of functioning. A general assessment of intelligence and executive functions will also be conducted. * They will next attend 10 to 12 therapy sessions, with or without biofeedback. (The biofeedback component is explained in more detail in the ''Study Design'' section). * The post-test follow-ups consist of two evaluations: one 3 months after the end of the treatment and the other 6 months after. The evaluation will be done using the same battery of tests as during the pre-test interview.
NCT04578912
The study will examine whether combining Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) with inhibition of the supplementary motor area (SMA) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) normalizes activity in the SMA-connected circuits, improves tic suppression ability, and enhances CBIT outcomes in young people with tic disorder. The study will also examine different TMS dosing strategies.
NCT05566236
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using a board game to improve adolescents' tics, mental health, and interpersonal interactions.
NCT04087616
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).
