Summary

The investigators developed a neuroscientifically-informed gamified tic-therapy platform. The investigators previously identified tic-triggering elements in movies and video games. Next, the investigators employed these elements to generate and validate a gamified intervention protocol, which is based on a video game the investigators designed (called XTics). The study tests the efficacy of the gamified tool integrated in an exposure and response prevention (ERP) protocol to enhance both patient's compliance and clinical outcome.

  • Tic Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

XTics

XTics is a gamified protocol of behavioral treatment for tic disorders. The participant's tics are monitored in real-time and they are reflected as achievements in a game that the participant plays at the same time. The rewards aim to counteract processes that consolidate the tic. XTics is compatible with ERP treatment, and it includes an introductory psychoeducation session and three behavioral training sessions.
