Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
for Tourette Syndrome
You are invited to participate in a
randomized research study designed to look at whether repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce the severity of tics in people with
severe Tourette syndrome.
Participants
will be randomized into the active treatment group or inactive treatment group
(placebo). Participants receiving
inactive stimulation will be offered active stimulation after completing their
placebo phase of the study. The rTMS
study uses a magnet that is placed on the scalp. The magnet can send magnetic waves to
different parts of the brain that may result in a reduction of your tics. The rTMS treatments (both active and placebo)
will take place at Yale University or Columbia University
depending on your physical location.
We are
currently looking for adults with
severe TS to participate in
these studies. Compensation will be
provided for participant's travel expenses.
Please contact us for further
information if you are interested in participating in this study.
