Our review of #Tourette syndrome research from 2022

Tics are fractal: The chaotic temporal nature of tics possess inherent fractality; have neighbor-to-neighbor correlation at all levels of timescale. Beeler, Black, Charkrabarty proved it. Thanks Kevin J. Black for sharing w TouretteAssn Medical Advisory Board.

Cool #Tourette conference next week. Virtual, and expecting some very interesting data, including reports on #neurosteroid treatment and #MNS median nerve stimulation treatment.

FYI there's a great #Tourette virtual conference next week, TIC-CON from the TouretteAssn of America. Sign up!

Final results from the U. Nottingham median nerve stimulation treatment study ('wristwatch' device) for #Tourette syndrome.

Nice work by Jade-Jocelyne Zouki, presented at the 2022 ESSTS meeting, now published. Networks connected to 19 cases of focal brain lesions causing tics were mapped via healthy connectomes: posterior putamen, caudate, GPe (+) & precuneus (-).

I'm proud of this work. A RCT of median nerve stimulation for treatment of #Tourette syndrome. link.growkudos.com/1pd83tff668

We also completed an open-label follow-on study with an off-the-shelf TENS unit and #EMA assessments.

Excited about this #Tourette treatment study extending the original work by Drs. Bàrbara Morera Màiquez & Stephen Jackson. Median nerve stimulation #MNS improved tics during stimulation, but not via the originally proposed mechanism.

#Functional tic-like presentations differ strikingly from Provisional Tic Disorder. #Tourette
Proud of this one. Constructive comments welcome.
