Tourette's syndrome is now viewed as a neuropsychiatric spectrum disorder in which tics are commonly associated with obsessive−compulsive symptoms that do not always meet the full diagnostic criteria for obsessive−compulsive disorder (OCD) and with disturbances of attention that do not always meet the full criteria for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)," writes Roger Kurlan, MD, from the Movement Disorders Program, Atlantic Neuroscience Institute, Overlook Hospital, Summit, New Jersey.

For the treatment of Tourette's syndrome, the recommendations are that guanfacine or clonidine be considered as a first-line medication for moderate or more severe tics, that botulinum toxin may be considered in patients with a single interfering tic, and that more potent medications such as risperidone, pimozide, or fluphenazine may be considered for tics with an inadequate response to the alpha-agonists. (medscape.com)
