What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pei Tu Ning Feng Tang (a Chinese herbal decoction containing Dangshen, Huangqi, Baizhu, Fuling, Hangshao, Gouteng, and Zhi Gancao)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a natural treatment option for children with Tourette syndrome that may help control tics.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 60 children and no comparison group, so results may not be reliable. The herbal mixture is complex and its effects are not well understood.
