Just had a great discussion with an MDS task force on how best to define a tic. So, #Tourette world, how would _you_ define a tic?

Excited about this #Tourette treatment study extending the original work by Drs. Bàrbara Morera Màiquez & @jackson684. Median nerve stimulation #MNS improved tics during stimulation, but not via the originally proposed mechanism.

Peripheral nerve induction of inhibitory brain circuits to treat Tourette syndrome: A randomized crossover trial https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.01.23285304 #medRxiv @medrxivpreprint

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

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