Progress in the Treatment of Tourette Syndrome

Tourette Syndrome, a persistent neuropsychiatric condition predominantly encountered in childhood, significantly influences an individual's behavior, social engagement, and daily life activities. Current therapeutic strategies for managing Tourette Syndrome can broadly be classified into two primary categories: (1) pharmacological interventions, relying on medication, and (2) non-pharmacological approaches, which do not involve drug usage. This paper aims to delve into the existing literature on both these treatment modalities, with a primary emphasis on providing updated insights into pharmacological interventions.

Object: To investigate the methodology of treating children with Tourette Syndrome.

Methods: Collected 19 English references through a retrospective review of new treatment methods on the internet.

Results: Treatments are divided into two categories: drug treatment and non-drug treatment, with drug treatment being the primary focus.

Conclusion: The two categories of therapy have different curative effects and must be chosen in accordance with the actual clinical situation of patients.
