Use of Levetiracetam to Treat Tics in Chidlren and Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome
Movement Disorders 20:714-718, Awaad,Y.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
All 60 patients showed improvements based on all of the scales used, and 43 patients improved with regard to behavior and school performance. Levetiracetam was generally well tolerated. Three patients discontinued treatment because of exaggeration of preexisting behavioral problems. Levetiracetam may be useful in treating tics in children and adolescents. Given its established safety profile, levetiracetam is a candidate for evaluation in a well-controlled trial.
