Summary

Repetitive transcranial stimulation (rTMS) of the posterior parietal cortex will be applied daily over five days in adult Gilles de la Tourette patients. This approach aims at reducing premonitory sensations believed to induce tics. Patients will be randomized to an active or placebo (sham) group in a crossover design.
