Summary

Participants will either learn mindfulness techniques to manage urges or receive standard relaxation and coping support. The goal is to see which approach better lowers tic severity and improves daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
mindfulness-based intervention for tics (MBIT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-drug way to help people with tics feel more in control and reduce tic severity.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The mindfulness approach may not work for all types of tics or may be less effective than existing treatments.
