“…These observations reinforce the need for optimal clinical management of TS to include appropriate treatment of associated comorbidities. In another study 28 parents of 21 TS children completed questionnaires on their anxiety, depression, and perceived stress 82 . Eight of the parents reported a moderate or severe level of anxiety.…”

We present selected highlights from research that appeared during 2015 on Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders. Topics include phenomenology, comorbidities, developmental course, genetics, animal models, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, pharmacology, and treatment. We briefly summarize articles whose results we believe may lead to new treatments, additional research or modifications in current models of TS.

“…This result provides additional support to previous findings that patients with severe GTS are prone to increased stress and decreased quality of life. 7,20 It was also suggested that DBS could influence OCD symptoms, anxiety, and depression, which could greatly influence the patient's quality of life, independent of its effects on tics. 41 Our results showed that 27% of patients had a history of SIB, but we did not have sufficient data to measure improvements.…”

OBJECTIVEGilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Although by definition the onset of GTS is before age 18 years, clinical trials of deep brain stimulation (DBS) have been conducted only in adults. Using individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis methodology, the current study investigated the safety and efficacy of DBS as a treatment for GTS in children and youth.METHODSA systematic review with no date or language restrictions was performed according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Three electronic databases were searched: PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science. From 843 articles screened, the IPD of 58 children and youth (ages 12–21 years) extracted from 21 articles were collected and analyzed. A mixed-effects univariable analysis followed by multivariable hierarchical regression was performed using change in the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) score as the primary outcome and reported measures of comorbidities as secondary outcomes.RESULTSThe authors’ results showed an average improvement of 57.5% ± 24.6% across studies on the YGTSS. They also found that comorbid depression and stimulation pulse width each correlated negatively with outcome (p < 0.05). In patients with less severe GTS, greater improvements were evident following thalamic stimulation. More than one-quarter (n = 16, 27.6%) of participants experienced side effects, the majority of which were minor.CONCLUSIONSDBS in the pediatric population may be an effective option with a moderate safety profile for treatment of GTS in carefully selected children and youth. Large, prospective studies with long-term follow-up are necessary to understand how DBS influences tic symptoms and may alter the natural course of GTS in children.

“…The impact of providing long-term care for children and teens with complex medical conditions can lead to feelings of isolation, economic concerns, exhaustion, and intense emotions (Kuster & Merkle, 2004). Several studies have noted that the role of the TS caregiver has not been fully examined (Goussé et al, 2016;Schoeder & Remer, 2007). Caregivers for TS children and teens face a unique burden, given the physical, mental, and social ramifications of the disorder combined with its presentation in early childhood and tic intensity during the middle school years (Bitsko et al, 2014).…”

“…Few studies have examined the support needs of TS caregivers, although the studies available underscore the role social support plays as a stress reducer for the TS caregiver (Goussé et al, 2016;Ludlow et al, 2018;Schoeder & Remer, 2007). Ludlow et al (2018) noted that TS caregivers found building relationships with other TS families as positive and helpful toward coping.…”

“…Schoeder and Remer (2007) found that TS caregiver strain was related to the strength of social networks and that perceived social support partially mediated the child's symptom severity and caregiver stress. Goussé et al (2016) explained that TS caregivers with poor social networks also had increased scores of stress and anxiety. On the other hand, caregivers with strong social networks were more likely to engage in adaptive coping mechanisms, regardless of their anxiety and stress scores (Goussé et al, 2016).…”

Experiences of Tourette Syndrome Caregivers With Supportive Communication

The experiences of Tourette syndrome (TS) caregivers with supportive communication are examined in this qualitative investigation. TS is a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder marked by a combination of involuntary verbal and motor tics lasting for more than 1 year. Although individuals are impacted the most by TS, the stress for caring for a child with TS takes an emotional and physical toll on the caregiver. Eleven participants shared their experiences with receiving supportive communication by taking part in semi-structured interviews. Data analysis yielded three themes: (a) TS caregivers describe their experiences as a struggle; (b) they seek out specific social support from friends and families; and (c) they frequently receive social support that increases instead of reducing stress.
