Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Reduce Tics
Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Tourette Syndrome
In brief
Specific Aim1: Using a paradigm of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation called Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS) to reduce tics in Tourette Syndrome subjects Hypothesis1: cTBS, compared to sham stimulation, will reduce tic severity by at least 25% as measured by the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale Specific Aim2: Using cTBS to further understand neural correlates of tic generation Hypothesis2: Functional MRI BOLD signal activation pattern will change after cTBS and this change will correlate with clinical improvement in tic severity
