Article Synopsis
- - Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a genetic tic disorder often found alongside ADHD and OCD, with its genetic and biological causes still not fully understood.
- - Research indicates that dopamine plays a significant role in TS, with treatments like tetrabenazine, which affects dopamine levels, showing effectiveness in reducing symptoms.
- - A recent study with 77 TS patients demonstrated that 80% showed improvement after two years on tetrabenazine, and a larger follow-up with 120 patients found 76% improved after an average of 19 months, suggesting potential long-term benefits of this treatment.
