Tourette patients' misbelief of a tic rebound is due to overall difficulties in reliable tic rating

摘要

Objective: While in clinical interviews the vast majority of patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) report about a tic rebound after voluntary tic suppression, in recent studies in children no paradoxical tic increase could be found. We hypothesized that in adult patients there is a tic rebound after tic suppression.
