This study provides safety and proof of concept that a scheduled DBS approach could improve motor and vocal tics in Tourette syndrome. Refinements in neurostimulator battery life, outcome measure selection, and flexibility in programming settings can be used to enhance outcomes in a future larger study. Scheduled stimulation holds a promise as a potential first step for shifting movement and neuropsychiatric disorders toward more responsive neuromodulation approaches. |
