Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in chronic motor tic disorder. One chronic motor tic Disorder case was managed with the Yinyang Balancing appliance on tempromandibular joint (TMJ), combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. The patient showed positive changes after the treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Although it is not clear the effect is sustaining or temporary in its nature, a positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

It was observed that the effectiveness of Yin-yang balancing therapy of the tempromandibular joint (YBT) or functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCS) in three cases: an acute and a chronic motor tic disorder and a Tourrette's disorder (TD). These three cases were mainly managed with cervical balancing appliance for the Yin-yang Balancing on tempromandibular joint (TMJ) and pelvic balance therapy. They were treated concurrently with acupuncture, cupping and herb-medicine. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures with visual analogue scale (VAS), Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTTS) and clinical observations for 235, 279 and 273 days respectively. The patient showed positive changes after the treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Although it is not clear whether the effect is sustained afterwards or not, a positive effect on the motor tic disorders and TD was observed. And so, furthermore strict clinical and structural researches for verification on YBT is expected.

본 연구에서는 만성 운동성 틱 장애와 뚜레뜨 장애가 같은 원인을 갖는 동일한 스펙트럼상의 장애인지, 아니면 표면적인 증상은 유사하지만 기저의 원인은 다른 별개의 장애인지를 규명하고자, 만성 운동성 틱 장애와 뚜레뜨 장애 집단이 심리검사 반응상에서 서로 구분되는 특성이 있는지를 알아보았다. 서울대학병원 소아정신과를 내원한 6세 이상 13세 이하와 환아들 중에서 소아정신과 의사에 의해 만성 운동성 틱 장애와 뚜레뜨 장애로 진단을 받았던 환아들(틱 집단 : N=29 ; 뚜레뜨 집단, N=10)이 본 연구에서 포함되었다. 두 집단의 심리 검사 반응 특성을 비교한 결과, 뚜레뜨 장애가 만성 운동성 틱 장애보다 더 신경학적인 문제와 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 뚜레뜨 장애 아동들이 만성 운동성 틱 장애 아동들보다 사회적 적응에 더 어려움이 있고, 정서적인 영향에 더 취약성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 만성 운동성 틱 장애보다 뚜레뜨 장애에 신경학적 요인, 불안이나 스트레스와 같은 정서적 요인, 그리고 기질적인 요인간의 복잡한 상호작용이 더 관련되어 있을 가능성을 시사한다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점 및 뚜레뜨 장애와 주의력결핍 과잉활동 장애간의 공통병리에 대한 연구의 필요성이 논의되었다.

Methods : After surveying 292 patients who visited an Oriental medicine clinic with tic symptoms as main complaints for 17 months, SAS 9.1, a statistical program was used for statistical analysis. Results : 1. The BMI of male tic patients was significantly higher than female ones and it was similar to or higher than the normal group. 2. Patients who are eldest children were 1.7 times higher than those who are not eldest ones. 3. The most usual case of motor tics was the eye blink and the most one of vocal tics was a dry cough. 4. There was no significant difference between male and female patients for all symptoms of motor and vocal tics, but male patients had significantly more obsessions related to tics than female ones. 5. There was no significant difference in the age of initial occurrence of Transient tic disorder(TTD), Chronic tic disoder(CTD) and Tourette's disorder(TD). 6. For the general disorder of a tic and Conners' ADHD rating scale, there was no significance in TTD, CTD and TD. 7. 66% out of the total subjects of 197 cases were found to score more than 65 points in more than 1 items among 8 items such as the time, hearing, wrong alarm, mean response time and standard deviation in the response time, etc. of the ADHD diagnosis system(ADS). 8. The eye blink among motor tics was shown mainly by patients under 10 years old and the frown, movement of the head, shrug and movement of the arms were shown mainly by 11-19 years old patients.

Objectives: Comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (CBIT) is effective in children with chronic tic disorders. This study aimed to assess the effect of group-based CBIT (group-CBIT) on tic severity and comorbid symptoms. We compared the efficacy of group CBIT with that of a control. Methods: Thirty children with chronic tic disorder or Tourette's disorder were enrolled in this study. Eighteen were assigned to the group-CBIT for eight sessions, and 12 were assigned to the control group. Tics and comorbid symptoms were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Rating Scale-IV, Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, and the Korean-Children Behavioral Checklist. We compared the pre- and post-intervention results of each group and determined the difference in the pre- and post-intervention results between intervention and the control group. Results: The YGTSS motor and vocal tic interference, global impairment, and global severity scores decreased in the intervention group only. Group CBIT was superior in reducing the motor tic interference, impairment score, and global severity score to the control group. Conclusion: The group-CBIT showed an improvement in tic symptoms, especially in reducing the level of interference and impairment of tics.

Then we evaluated tic disorder by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS) and observed the progress of tic disorder with the play therapy. Results : We treated a tic-disorder patient with oriental medicine, play therapy and had a good effect on a patient who had facial motor tic disorder. The patient's symptoms were improved and the YGTSS also decreased. Conclusions : This study shows that co-treatment of oriental medicine and play therapy can be an effective treatment for tic disorder. And the further study is needed with more cases and longer duration.
