Abstract
Tic disorder is a childhood neuropsychological disorder characterized by abrupt, involuntary, and repetitive stereotyped mus-cle movement or vocal sound. Tourette’s disorder shows a chronic prognosis, and can last for life if no treatment is applied. Al-though 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 To-urette’s Syndrome recently issued non-pharmacologic guidelines for treatment of tic disorders based on the research findings ob-tained 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.
