Q

what is the difference between stereotypic movements and tics

A

-stereotypic movements manifest sooner and lack a premonitory urge
-tics tend to be shorter duration and less rhythmic
-stereotypies are soothing while tics are disruptive

21
Q

manifestation of tics

A

usually between 5-6 with highest severity between 10-12

22
Q

what part of the brain is though to be dysfunctioning in tics

A

basal ganglia (particularly involving dopaminergic transmission in the CSTC)

23
Q

definition of tic

A

repetitive muscle contraction that leads to involuntary movement or vocalization

24
Q

what are the 2 types of tics

A

motor
vocal

25
Q

examples of simple motor tics

A

eye blinking
head jerking
grimacing

26
Q

examples of complicated motor tics

A

grooming
smelling objects
jumping
touching
echopraxia
copropraxia

27
Q

What differentiates a tic from a stereotypy

A

stereotypies are voluntary and often provide comfort while tics are involuntary and associated with distress

28
Q

what is copropraxia

A

obscene gestures

29
Q

what are common simple vocal tics

A

throat clearing
grunting
snorting
coughing
barking

30
Q

examples of complex vocal tics

A

-repeating words/phrases out of context
-coprolalia
-palilalia
-echolalia

31
Q

coprolalia

A

obscenities

32
Q

palilalia

A

repeating your own words

33
Q

echolalia

A

repeating others words

34
Q

how long must tics persist for dx of Tourettes disorder

A

at least 1 year with onset prior to 18

35
Q

2 disorders highly associated with Tourette’s

A

ADHD
OCD

36
Q

diagnostic tools for tics/Tourette’s

A

-tic symptom self-report
-yale global tic severity scale
-premonitory urge for tics scale

37
Q

what age range is the premonitory urge for tics scale (PUTS) appropriate for

A

children older than 10

38
Q

what type of tics are required for dx of Tourette’s

A

both vocal and motor tics

39
Q

what are some topics for psychoeducation with Tourette’s

A

variability of tics
history of disorder
stress reduction interventions

40
Q

what are some EBP behavioral interventions for Tourette’s

A

habit reversal
exposure and response prevention

41
Q

components of habit reversal

A

awareness training
competing response training

42
Q

how does exposure and response prevention work with Tourette’s

A

patient voluntarily suppresses tics for longer and longer to break the association between urge and tic

43
Q

main drug class options for the tx of Tourette’s when meds are needed

A

-antipsychotics
-noradrenergic agents

44
Q

what is the most well studying atypical antipsychotic for the treatment of tics

A

risperidone

45
Q

what are the most well studied typical antipsychotics for treating tics

A

haldol
pimozide

Q

what noradrenergic agents are used to treat tics

A

clonidine
guanfacine
atomoxetine

47
Q

alternative medications that are sometimes used for the treatment of tics

A

tetrabenazine
topiramate
tetrahydrocannabinol

48
Q

main difference between Tourette’s and persistent motor/vocal tic disorder

A

Tourette’s requires both types of tics while persistent motor/vocal tic disorder only requires one or the other

49
Q

how long must tics persist to qualify for dx of persistent motor/vocal tic disorder

A

at least 1 year

50
Q

treatment for persistent motor/vocal tic disorder

A
