Abstract
Tourette's syndrome is one of the
most complex problems of nervous tic.
For years there have been studies that
confirm that the largest number of
patients in children.
Different studies show that cases of
children with this syndrome indicate
that as they grow, the syndrome
disappears. Moreover, the probability
that this syndrome occurs four times
higher in boys than in girls.
It is important to keep in mind the complications of
this syndrome, and it is possible that genetic
material has to do with the development of the
syndrome in children.
Most people when they grow disappears
syndrome, but there are those that present it in a
more complicated way. Or perhaps in their youth
disappears and the Late adulthood reactivates
syndrome again. And it is believed that this is due
to their genetic material.
Introduction
Many types of tic disorders, but specifically found the TD, chronic tic
disorders. Comorbidity with obsessive-compulsive disorder and
hyperactivity are related.
The importance of the study is to see the severity and relation of different
disorders tale like; DT only TD with comorbid TOC or ADHD according to
the severity of tics, measures of psychopathology and other comorbid
diagnoses (Fernandez 2002).
Makes over 100 ago, a French physician Georges
Gilles de la Tourette, wrote an article in which he
described nine individuals from childhood, had
suffered involuntary movements and sounds and
rituals or compulsive behaviors. In his honor, this is
called been symptoms of Gilles de la Tourette’s
syndrome.
Clinical assessment of Tourette syndrome and tic
disorders
Tics usually begin between the ages of 6 and 8 and
are sudden. People with experience of this syndrome
have a variety of different sensory problems, including
premonitory urges prior tics and somatic
hypersensitivity due to impaired sensor motor
suppression. There are conditions such as stress,
anxiety, fatigue, among others, cause tics, moreover,
relaxation, exercise or sports practice help control
tics.
Ninety percent of children with the syndrome also
have comorbid disorder such as attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-
compulsive disorder (OCD), or an impulse control
disorder conditions. In the evaluation of the
syndrome should be evaluated also other
conditions that affect people, as these relate to
each other. Most children develop a normal lifestyle
as they enter adulthood (Cohen et al. 2012).
Tourette’s syndrome in children
According to this research, Tourette syndrome
is a disorder of a combination of both vocal
and motor tics (Roessner et al. 2010).
Therefore, the investigators want to have a
strong base for the diagnosis of these
conditions.
This research is helpful to the scientific community,
because it leads to more deeply know the origin
and development of mental disorders and their
relationship with tic disorder and Tourette
syndrome. This syndrome is more common in
children, because they are born with genetic
characteristics that make inherit this condition. As
time passes, most symptoms lost forever, but
others can live with it all your life or maybe you
appear as adults.
Topiramate for Tourette's syndrome in
Children Due to the strong impact of Tourette syndrome in
children, has tried work with it using different
treatments. That is why there have been various
studies involving an analysis of how effective he can
be certain treatments.
Topiramate is used alone or with other treatments to
prevent or control certain conditions. Controlled trials
evaluating topiramate for children with Tourette
syndrome Cochrane, PubMed, and Cochrane Central,
EMBASE, CBM, CNKI, VIP, WANG Fang database
library, and lists of relevant references were found
(Chung-Song et al. 2013).
Two reviewers independently selected agents’ trials,
assessed quality and extracted data. The current
results are promising it, but still not enough to support
the routine use of topiramate for Tourette syndrome in
children due to the poor quality of experimental study
designs. Must be confirmed with the highest quality
placebo controlled trials.
Comparison of people with TS with people without TS
Internet rescue
ConclusionAfter many years of research and studies of tics and Tourette
syndrome, it is clear that in this condition a little about its origin and
development are unknown. According to studies, the most likely to
be victims of this condition are children. It's curious how this
condition disappears with time and then can appear in adulthood.
Finally, there is no cure for Tourette syndrome (TS), yes there are
treatments to help control tics caused by the condition. Many
people with TS have tics that do not disrupt their daily activities
and, therefore, do not need treatment. However, there are
medications and behavioral treatments for cases in which the tics
are painful or cause injury; interfere with school, work or social life
or cause stress.
