Sensory Symptoms in Tourette Syndrome
Description
Patients with tics will be recruited to participate in an observational study assessing extent and variation in non-motor features of Tourette syndrome over time. Each participant will complete a battery of validated questionnaires and scales online or in paper format (per patient preference), including the Premonitory Urge to Tic Scale (PUTS), the Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI), the Sensory Perception Quotient, the ADHD Self-Report Screening Scale, and others. These questionnaires will be administered annually to patients. For the analysis, participants will be stratified by age into late adolescents (18-25 years old) and adults (older than 25 years) since adolescent development ends at approximately age 25.
