Summary

The primary aim of this study is to learn more about premonitory urges (PU) when using Habit Reversal Training (HRT) to treat tics.

The main focus of this study is to investigate if and when PU change during tic treatment sessions and between tic treatment sessions.

Participants will:

* Attend 5 study visits (approximately 1 to 1.5 hours each) for an intake, habit reversal training for 3 separate tics, and a post assessment
* Attend 5 practice sessions (approximately 30 minutes each) over a week for 3 weeks (total 15 practice sessions)
* Study visits and practice sessions will take place in person and online via secure videoconference

Conditions

  • Tics
  • Tourette Disorder
  • Tourette Syndrome in Children
  • Tourette Syndrome in Adolescence

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Habit Reversal Training

Participants learn to identify when their tics occur and then learn a competing response to engage in instead of the 3 identified tics and then practice competing responses learned in session during the practice sessions throughout the week.
