New study to uncover how tics disrupt sleep in kids with tourette syndrome
NCT ID NCT07450079
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at sleep in 34 children with Tourette syndrome, comparing them to children without the condition. Researchers will use a special tic index, a watch-like movement tracker, and overnight sleep recordings to see how tics affect sleep quality. The goal is to better understand sleep problems in these children and support future research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help researchers better understand how tics affect sleep in children with Tourette syndrome, potentially guiding future treatments for sleep problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study that is not yet recruiting. It does not test any treatment, so it will not directly improve sleep or tics. Results may not apply to all children with Tourette syndrome.
