The Clinical Characterization of Blocking Tics in Patients With Tourette Syndrome

Abstract: ObjectiveaaTourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the presence of motor and phonic tics. Blocking phenomena, characterized by arrests in motor activity causing interruptions in movements or speech, have also been described in patients with TS. In this study, we aimed to characterize the frequency and features of blocking tics in patients with TS.MethodsaaWe studied a cohort of 201 patients with TS evaluated at our movement disorders clinic.ResultsaaWe identified 12 (6%) patien… Show more

“…Forty-one patients were identified with oromandibular tics and these were compared with 35 patients with classic tardive dyskinesia. The latter group of patients was found to have more frequent continuous tongue, oromandibular and masticatory movements (Baizabal-Carvallo et al 2023). According to another study by Baizabal-Carvallo and colleagues, blocking tics occur in 6% of patients (12/201).…”
