Objectives: This study investigates lay beliefs about the etiology and treatments of tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome, as well as identifying sociodemographic and personality variables affecting these beliefs among South Koreans. Methods: In total, 673 participants (mean age $41.77{\pm}12.03$ years) completed an online survey regarding their beliefs about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. The factors related to their lay beliefs about the disorders were analyzed, and the correlates were investigated. Results: Results indicated that lay people in South Korea held strong beliefs that the causes of tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome lie within the parenting/psychological and neurological/biological categories, compared to the dietary/environmental one. Among the sociodemographic variables, sex, age, and levels of subjective mental health knowledge were primarily associated with the aforementioned beliefs. Familiarity with tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome was also associated with these beliefs. Among the personality traits investigated, extraversion and conscientiousness had significant influences on the beliefs people had about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. Conclusion: The results suggest that both policy makers and mental health service providers should adopt a strategic approach for developing and implementing health education interventions about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome because individual sociodemographic variables, familiarity with the disorders, and personality traits are all associated with the beliefs about these disorders.

Objectives To assess the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy in patients with Tourette's syndrome. Methods We queried nine electronic databases using the keywords "Tourette's Syndrome" and "tuina OR chuna" to identify RCTs that investigated the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy in patients with Tourette's syndrome. Results Thirteen RCTs were selected according to the inclusion criteria. A systematic review showed that Chuna manual therapy can have a curative effect on patients with Tourette's syndrome. Conclusions In this study, 13 RCTs reported that Chuna manual therapy was effective for Tourette's syndrome. These findings provide a basis for its clinical use. However, all studies involved populations belonging to the same country. Many studies lacked details of the research methodology. Therefore, further studies are required to produce high-quality evidence.

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.

Tic disorder is a childhood neuropsychological disorder characterized by abrupt, involuntary, and repetitive stereotyped muscle movement or vocal sound. Tourette's disorder shows a chronic prognosis, and can last for life if no treatment is applied. Although tic disorder has been known for ages, the underlying cause is still not well known. Non-pharmacological treatments have long been used for the tic disorder, but few clinical studies were conducted. However, the European Society for the Study of Tourette's Syndrome recently issued non-pharmacologic guidelines for treatment of tic disorders based on the research findings obtained so far. In addition, guidelines for non-pharmacologic evidence-based treatment were reported in Canada, North America. By synthesizing the newly reported foreign guidelines for treatment and review articles, the aim of this study is to investigate the non-pharmacologic therapies used for treatment of tic disorder or Tourette's disorder.

Objectives: Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in Tourette's Disorder. Methods: Two Tourette's Disorder cases were managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on temporomandibular joint (TMJ), combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. Results: The patients showed positive changes even after the initial treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Conclusions: Although it is not clear the effect is a sustaining or temporary in its nature, a positive effect was observed and further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report the improvement in a patient who had Tourette syndrome treated with Hoeyeoksan based on Shanghanlun provisions. Methods: The symptoms of the patient were checked on days 14, 34, 62, 82, 103, and 119 after administration of Hoeyeoksan. Tourette syndrome was evaluated using Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), and oversleep and constipation were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS). In addition, new clinical implications for the interpretation of Shanghanlun provision 318 were reviewed. Results: Daily tics occurred ten times a day for 14 days after the initial diagnosis but decreased to eight times a day after 34 days, six times a day after 62 days, five times a day after 82 days, twice a day after 103 days, and once a day after 119 days after administration of Hoeyeoksan. Oversleep and constipation improved together with Tourette syndrome. Conclusions: In this study, we observed that Hoeyeoksan had a therapeutic effect by improving the chief complaint of the patient. Hence, the interpretation of Shanghanlun provision 318 must include a patient's behavioral and sleep patterns as predisposing factors of Tourette syndrome.

Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애는 7세 전후한 연령에서 가장 흔히 시작되는 소아 또는 청소년기의 행동장애로서 서로 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있으며, 또한 유전적인 경향이 아주 강한 질환들로 알려져 있다. 원인으로서도 여러가지 가설이 있으나 뇌의 기능 또는 기질적인 장애로 인하여 발병될 가능성도 클 것으로 추정되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이 질환들의 생물학적인 원인들 중 일부를 살펴보기 위하여 단일광자방출 전산화단층촬영술을 시행하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 31.0%(13/42)에서 대뇌피질의 혈류감소 소견을 보였으며, 전두엽이 가장 흔한 혈류 이상 소견을 보인 부위였다.2) 4.8%(2/42)애서 대뇌기저핵의 혈류에 감소를 나타내었다. 3) 4.8%(2/42)에서 시상부의 혈류감소가 관찰되었다. 4) 16.7%(7/42)에서 소뇌의 혈류감소가 관찰되었다. 5) 주의력결핍과잉운동장애가 동반된 군과 동반되지 않은 군간에 혈류장애의 빈도에 있어서의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 6) Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애에 있어서, 혈류장애가 동반된 빈도에 있어서의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 걸과로 미루어 Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애의 생물학적인 원인중의 하나로 뇌혈류장애와 관계가 있을 가능성이 있으며, 뇌혈류의 정도를 정량화시키거나, 또는 자기공명영상과 같은 방법을 병행하여 연구를 시행함으로써, 본 연구의 타당성을 높여줄 수 있으리라 기대된다.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report a case of transient tic disorder, chronic motor tic disorder, and Tourette's disorder of the children who treated by herbal medicine. Methods We treated the tic-disorder children with herbal medicine (Samchulgeonbitang, Oyaksun- gisankamibang, Cheonggan-soyosan), and we evaluated tic disorder cases by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). Results We treated a tic-disorder patients with herbal medicine and we had some good effects on a patients who had transient tic disorder, chronic motor tic disorder, and Tourette's disorder. The patients' symptomswere improved and the YGTSS also decreased. Conclusions Herbal medicine works well especially for tic-disorder, and active medical treatments are the most important thing for Transient tic disorder.

Tourette씨병 또는 만성틱장애에서 Dopamine계의 적용에 대한 기전을 이해하고자 혈장내 DBH 활성도를 측정하고, 연령과의 상호관계를 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 혈장내의 DBH 활성도는 대조군이 가장 높았고(2.50umol/min/1), Tourette씨병이 가장 낮았다(105umol/min/1). 만성틱장애는 1.75umol/min/1이었다. 분산분석 결과 세군간에 있는 차이가 관찰되었는데, 사후검증 결과, Tourette씨병과 대조군간에는 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었으나, Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애 또는 만성틱장애와 대조군간에는 의미있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애를 한군으로 묶어 대조군과 비교해 본 결과, 의미있는 차이가 관찰되었다.(S=16.56, Sa=1.76, p<0.05). 2) 혈장 DBH활성도의 개체발생적인 과정에 있어서는 Tourette씨병, 만성틱장애 또는 대조군에서 모두 연령이 증가되면서 DBH활성도가 의미있게 증가되었다. 즉 틱장애와 대조군간에 DBH개체 발생적인 과정에 있어서는 의미있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 미루어, Tourette씨병의 생물학적인 원인중의 하나로서, DBH 활성도의 이상이 관여할 가능성이 있으며, DA계와 NE계의 균형의 장애가 한 요인이 된다고 볼 수 있다. DBH활성도의 차이에 대한 기전에 대하여는 향후의 연구과제가 된다.

Although most of flutter of palpebranum (part of Tourette's disorder) was though to be functional and psychogenic emotional disorder, author has understood that it was organic disease due to abnormal interaction of Heart Gall bladder according to many clinical experience. The confirmation was accomplished by four examinations, pulse, meridian and it was supplemented by ECG because it was surely to correlate with the wave of ECG. The treatment was done medically by prescirbing mainly O pe san, samsoyeum, zagumhuan and good result was obtained.
