Study to Explore Association Between Tics, Urges

/ Lynn Dunlap / Leave a comment
Faculty at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center are conducting an Internet-based survey designed to explore the association between tics in children and the presence or absence of an urge right before the tic.

This research study has been reviewed and approved by TSA’s National Medical Advisory Board.

A parent and child (7 to 17 years old) should work together on the survey, to come up with the best answer to each question. The survey should take around half an hour to complete.

To complete the survey, check here and follow the instructions.
