Summary
This study tested whether a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation could improve motor control in 16 people aged 10-21 with Tourette syndrome. The approach targeted a brain area involved in movement regulation. The goal was to see if it could strengthen the brain's natural ability to suppress unwanted movements, potentially reducing tics.
