목 적 : 본 연구의 목적은 치료저항성 뚜렛장애를 가진 소아 청소년들에 대해서 보조운동영역을 표적으로 한 저빈도 반복적 경두개자기자극술의 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 방 법 : 이 연구는 미국정신의학회 진단기준 및 통계편람, 제 4판을 기준으로 뚜렛장애로 진단받은 10명의 소아 청소년(평균연령 $12.56{\pm}1.04$세)을 대상으로 하였다. 모든 참가자들은 1년 이상 지속적으로 충분한 용량의 약물치료를 받았음에도 불구하고 한국판 예일 틱 증상 평가척도(YGTSS) 20점 이상, 임상인상척도(CGI-TS) 4점 이상을 받았다. 참가자들은 보조운동영역을 표적으로 1 Hz 반복적 경두개자기자극 치료를 매일 20분간 받았으며, 총 20회 치료를 받았다. YGTSS, CGI-TS 및 이상반응 체크리스트는 연구 시작 전과 연구 시작 후 4, 8, 12주에 시행되었다. 결 과 : 틱 증상은 연구 12주차까지 호전된 상태로 지속되었으며, YGTSS와 CGI-TS가 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다. 특히 음성 틱 점수의 감소가 운동 틱 점수의 변화보다 전체 YGTSS 점수의 감소에 큰 역할을 한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 전체 10명의 참가자 중 9명이 심각한 부작용 없이 연구를 끝까지 완료하였다. 결 론 : 본 연구는 보조운동영역을 표적으로 한 저빈도 반복적 경두개자기자극술이 치료 저항성 뚜렛장애를 가진 소아 청소년들에게 효과적이고 안전한 치료도구가 될 수 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 반복적 경두개자기자극술의 치료효과를 확정하기 위해서는 보다 많은 환자를 대상으로 한 잘 통제된 연구가 필요할 것이다.

In this study, a patient with both motor and vocal tic disorders of onset at age 34 was treated for a total of 316 days. The characteristics of the tic symptoms of the patient were examined and treated two to three times a week with herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, and habit reversal treatment along with western medication prescribed to the patient from a psychiatric clinic. Furthermore, the condition of the patient was evaluated once a week by the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS-K). Both motor and vocal tic symptoms deceased to a great amount after treatment and the patient was able to lower the dosage of western medication with the approval of her psychiatric doctor. This case suggests that Oriental medical treatment undergone with habit reversal treatment could improve tic disorders better than sole western medication treatment.

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.
