Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Severity of tic symptoms assessed by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    The YGTSS is designed to rate the overall severity of motor and phonic tic symptoms across a range of dimensions: number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference. The scale also includes an impairment assessment. The YGTSS total tic score (TTS) will be the primary measure for this study and represents the sum of the 5 subcategories (number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference) for both motor and phonic tics, each scored from 0 to 5, with higher values representing a worsening assessment.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall improvement of Tourette Syndrome with Clinical Global Impression-Tourette Syndrome (CGI-TS-Improvement) [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
