Summary

This study tracks how tic symptoms change in 30 youth aged 12-17 with Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorders. Participants receive 8 sessions of behavioral therapy (CBIT) and complete daily surveys, wear a device to track physiology, and perform weekly tasks. The goal is to identify patterns that predict who responds to treatment, paving the way for more personalized care.
