Pre Talk Questions:
Tics may be differentiated from other movement disorders as they are frequently painful. T F
Common reason to treat tics: Impaired ambulation parental frustration sleep interruption functional impairment
Pre Talk Questions:
Known cardiac conduction delay would lead to preferential use of Pimazide (Orap) and Ziprasidone (Geodon) in a patient with tics. TF
Talk Outline Clinical Features Diagnostic Criteria Epidemiology Clinical Course Differential Diagnosis Comorbid conditions Assessment Treatment
Clinical Features: Tics Defined Sudden movements or sounds Voluntary movement disorder
(suppressable) Repetitious Sporadic and clustered Non rhythmic
Clinical Features: Tics Defined: Rostral to Caudal Premonitory sensation Wax and wane Change with stress
Complex Tic multiple organized contractions which
mimic contextual speech or movement
obscene gestures such as “the finger” [copropraxia], obscene utterances [coprolalia], or repetition of others speech and movement [echolalia, echopraxia]
Diagnostic Criteria:onset before age 18 and not due to other cause
DISORDER TYPE OF TIC DURATION OF SYMPTOMS Tourette’s Disorder
Motor and one or more vocal tics at some point in the illness but not necessarily concurrently Nearly every day for more than a year with no greater than 3 months tic free Chronic Motor or vocal Tic Disorder Motor or Vocal Tics Nearly every day for more than a year with no greater than 3 months tic free Transient Tic Disorder Motor or Vocal Tics Between 4 weeks and one year
Disorder Type of Tic Duration of Symptoms
Tourette’s disorder Motor and one or more vocal tics at some point in the illness but not necessarily concurrently
Greater than 12 months
Persistent or Chronic motor or vocal tic disorder
Motor or Vocal Tics Greater than 12 months
Provisional Tic disorder
Motor or Vocal Tics Up to 12 months
Differential Diagnosis of Tics: SECONDARY: (Zebra?)
Inheritable syndromes: Huntington’chorea, Wilson’s disease, Hallervorden-Spatz,
Tuberous Sclerosis, Neuroacanthocytosis Infections:
PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptoccocal infection), Acute viral encephalitis, Chronic Encephalitis (HIV, CJD)
Toxins: Medications and Drugs of Abuse (partial list): Amphetamines,
methylphenidate, tricyclic antidepressants, L-dopa, carbodopa, carbamazepine, cocaine, antipsychotic medication (withdrawal).
Environmental: carbon monoxide, organopestacides, and volatile aromatic compounds.
Other: MRDD, Autism, head trauma, stroke, tumor, and Multiple
Sclerosis.
Factors suggesting secondary or other movement disorder: Movement disorder presenting in mid to late
adolescence Temporal relationship of symptom onset to
head injury, illness, medication or drug use Family history of Neurodegenerative disorder Cognitive decline Rigidity Tremor Dysarthria Dysphagia Weakness
Factors suggesting secondary or other movement disorder: Lateralizing findings Abnormal reflexes Seizures Recurrent GABHS Substantial symptoms during sleep Abrupt and severe onset Perceived as purely involuntary Non-suppressible motor symptoms No family history of tic disorder Child has no premonition of tic Movements are painful
Co morbidity (“TOURETTES PLUS”)
Anxiety 25 % *OCD Separation Other
*ADHD 50 % Learning Disability Pervasive Developmental Disorder ODD\CONDUCT DISORDERS 20% Mood disorder 20%
TREATMENT Inform the family and child of the waxing and waning course of
tics. Support acceptance of tics in the family through reassurance
and education. Treat tics with medication only if there is pain, physical
dysfunction, or marked social impact. Set realistic targets and goals prior to beginning medical
treatment. If medication is used, start low and go slow; consider the
natural flux in tics, and medication side effects when evaluating titration outcomes (including discontinuation rebound symptoms).
Comorbid conditions or psychological issues may cause greater dysfunction than tics, and should be weighted accordingly in the treatment plan
Habit Reversal Training (HRT)(competitive response training) Tic description Awareness of tics, through feedback, video tape, etc. Acknowledging tics when they happen, by documenting or
labeling with a letter T verbalized after each tic Learning a competitive response, i.e., a motor behavior
that is close to the opposite of the muscle contractions, that occur in the tic, and rehearsing it with the therapist
Learning relaxation techniques, such as breathing techniques and/or muscle relaxation techniques, to assist in carrying out a competitive response
Applying the competitive response when the patient feels a tic coming or for 1-2 minutes after a tic or series of tics
Great praise for the child when he/she follows through with the process
Feedback to the child regarding observed improvements
When to use medication Be certain the symptom is persistent. Try to not treat if possible
Functional impairment Social impairment Pain
How to use medication Define Goals of treatment Identify target symptoms Set expectations Single agent preferred over
polypharmacy Start low, go slow…tics wax and
wane!
Risks of treating tics Primary side effects Complexity of waxing and waning
syndrome and impact of medication tolerance and withdrawal
Unknowns of influence on brain development
Over reliance on medical intervention

Pre Talk Questions:
Tics may be differentiated from other movement disorders as they are frequently painful. False, tics should not generally be painful
Common reason to treat tics: Impaired ambulation No parental frustration No sleep interruption No functional impairment Yes
