Research

18. Participate in the CBIT+TMS Research Study!

Do you or your child make uncontrollable sounds or movements called "tics"? You may be eligible to participate in the CBIT + TMS research study at the University of Minnesota. We are testing a new treatment approach for people ages 12-21 years with tics. All eligible participants receive Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), an established therapy for tics. Additionally, participants are compensated for their time. Participants must be right-handed and will be asked questions about their tics, symptoms, background information, and medical history. We will conduct an assessment to make sure participants are able to and willing to undergo an MRI brain scan and receive a type of non-invasive procedure called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS is a painless, well-tolerated procedure that involves placing a hand-sized magnet next to the head to temporarily activate brain cells. In this study, TMS will be used to "turn down" the activity level of brain regions involved in tics. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either “real” TMS or “fake” TMS. You also will be asked to take part in an activity where we will video record your tics. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us at 612-258-2587 or email canlab@umn.edu. You may also fill out this form and we will contact you directly!
