| Mindfulness-based stress reduction for Tourette Syndrome and Chronic Tic Disorder: A pilot study \citep{25149879} | One of the first studies of mindfulness in TS. |  | Neurofeedback and its possible relevance for the treatment of Tourette syndrome \citep{25616186} | Review. |  | [TicHelper.com](http://www.tichelper.com/) ([London congress presentation](http://eventmobi.com/api/events/7343/documents/download/5191fb9c-8b5d-4fdf-afb4-b08f488b1b18.pdf/as/Development%20and%20Initial%20Feasibility%20Testing%20of%20TicHelper%20-%20A%20Self-Administered%20Interactive%20Program%20for%20Teaching%20Comprehensive%20Behavioral%20Intervention%20for%20Tics..pdf)) | A commercial adaptation of CBIT to the Internet. Potentially an important treatment option, especially for the many TS patients who do not live near a behavior therapist. Efficacy testing is ongoing (see [ClinicalTrials.gov](https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02413216)). |  | Which tics predict treatment response to CBIT? \citep{25988365} | In this large study (N>200 children and adults with tics),different tics were more likely to involve premonitory urges, and  the previously reported significant treatment benefit from CBIT could be attributed to differential improvement in only a few types of tics, including throat clearing and complex tics. However, tics that bothered people, most of which involved an urge, were more likely to respond preferentially to CBIT than to the control therapy. About 40-60% of patients with any specific kind of tic reported a premonitory urge for that tic.  | ### Medication
