About 100,000 Americans have full-blown Tourette syndrome, but more people have a milder form of the disease. It often starts in childhood, and more boys than girls get it. Symptoms often get better as children grow up. For some people, they go away completely.
Tourette’s has been linked to different parts of the brain, including an area called the basal ganglia, which helps control body movements. Differences there may affect nerve cells and the chemicals that carry messages between them. Although most researchers believe the trouble in the brain network may play a role in Tourette’s, no one knows the exact cause, but genetics are thought to play a role.
Tics are the main symptom of Tourette syndrome. However, some are so mild, they’re not even noticeable. Others happen often and are obvious. Stress, excitement, or being sick or tired can make them worse. Depending on how severe, the tics can be embarrassing and may have an affect on social life or work. There are two types of tics: motor and vocal. Many times, tics are mild and don’t need to be treated. If they become a problem, your doctor may prescribe medicine to help them. It can take a while to find the right dose that helps control tics but avoids side effects, so be patient as you and your doctor work through it.
Since opening our doors in 1996, CNS Healthcare has had the privilege of assisting in the development of some of the most widely prescribed medicines in the world. We continue to lead the way in providing the clinical research necessary to identify medications for the FDA to review and, once approved, physicians to prescribe. CNS has conducted thousands of clinical trials, improved millions of lives, and is proud to have helped in the FDA approval of nearly 100 new treatments.
