“…Vocal tic severity was only correlated with tic-related impairment in social activities. These findings are partially consistent with previous research [12, 27]. It is not surprising that more impairment would be attributed to tics when tics are more severe (i.e., higher in number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference).…”

“…In another study, Cloes et al [27] examined tic-related and non-tic-related impairment using both the parent and child versions of the CTIM (CTIM-P and CTIM-C, respectively). In contrast to the methodology used by Storch et al [12], this study compared CTIM scores of children with PTDs to healthy controls.…”

“…In addition to reporting the extent to which impairment was attributed to tics versus nontic behaviors, Cloes et al [27] and Storch et al [12] examined the relationship between ticrelated impairment and tic severity. Results showed that motor, vocal, and total tic severity scores on the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS; [28]) positively correlated with parent ratings of tic impairment on the CTIM-P.…”

“…The current study had three aims. First, we sought to partially replicate the studies by Storch et al [12] and Cloes et al [27]. This was done by administering the CTIM-P to a sample of treatment-seeking families and examining parental attributions of functional impairment associated with tics versus non-tic-related problems across three broad domains (i.e.…”

Children with persistent (chronic) tic disorders (PTDs) experience impairment across multiple domains of functioning, but given high rates of other non-tic-related conditions, it is often difficult to differentiate the extent to which such impairment is related to tics or to other problems. The current study used the Child Tourette's Syndrome Impairment Scale - Parent Report (CTIM-P) to examine parents' attributions of their child's impairment in home, school, and social domains in a sample of 58 children with PTD. Each domain was rated on the extent to which the parents perceived that impairment was related to tics versus non-tic-related concerns. In addition, the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) was used to explore the relationship between tic-related impairment and tic severity. Results showed impairment in school and social activities was not differentially attributed to tics versus non-tic-related impairment, but impairment in home activities was attributed more to non-tic-related concerns than tics themselves. Moreover, tic severity was significantly correlated with tic-related impairment in home, school, and social activities, and when the dimensions of tic severity were explored, impairment correlated most strongly with motor tic complexity. Results suggest that differentiating tic-related from non-tic-related impairment may be clinically beneficial and could lead to treatments that more effectively target problems experienced by children with PTDs.

“…Traditionally, generic health‐related quality of life (QoL) instruments have been used to assess the functional impact of Tourette syndrome and its different components, although a few disease‐specific instruments for QoL in Tourette syndrome have been developed and used . Cloes et al use the Child Tourette Syndrome Impairment Scale to compare QoL in patients with Tourette syndrome and healthy controls. They conclude that the Tourette syndrome parent and child ratings are higher than the healthy controls and correlate with clinicians' ratings of tic severity.…”
