Abstract
The management of tics requires a multimodal approach, combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, tailored to each patient according to the severity of the tics, their impact on quality of life, associated comorbidities, and the patient’s preferences. In recent years, new drugs with promising results have been investigated, as well as surgical techniques such as deep brain stimulation, which has shown efficacy in refractory cases and in those with debilitating symptoms. However, more controlled and long-term studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of these therapeutic options in different clinical contexts.
