Zapping the brain to calm tics: new hope for Tourette's

NCT ID NCT05628805

Summary

This study tested whether a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation technique could improve the brain's ability to control unwanted movements in people with Tourette Syndrome. Researchers worked with 16 children and teens, using a special magnetic pulse on a specific brain area thought to be involved in tics. The goal was to see if this stimulation could strengthen the brain's natural 'brakes' and provide a basis for future treatments to reduce tics.
