Patient's question:
I noticed that my child's hand sometimes twitches. The doctor said it's transient tics, but how are transient tics treated?Doctor's answer:
Before treatment, a careful and comprehensive assessment of the patient's psychological, social, educational, and occupational adaptation is necessary. Before a clear diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome is established, we need to understand its complete course, course of illness, family history, and psychosocial history. It is necessary to assess the patient's self-awareness, family and peer opinions, as well as learning engagement. Treatment should primarily focus on timely and comprehensive interventions, including medication, psychotherapy, dietary adjustments, and environmental therapy. For children with severe Tourette Syndrome, early and appropriate medication use is very important and is also the foundation for successful comprehensive treatment.
