Patient's question:
My grandfather's hands keep twitching involuntarily. When he went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that he had tics. I would like to ask how Chinese medicine treats this condition.Doctor's answer:
Multiple convulsions are a traditional Chinese medicine disease, also known as Tourette syndrome. The characteristics of multiple motor tic disorder include muscle contractions, strange sounds, or throat clearing. It occurs between the ages of 2 and 12, with boys being approximately three times more likely to be affected than girls. This condition must be treated promptly in a hospital, and active cooperation with doctors for medication or surgical treatment is essential. Thank you for observing the patient's psychological reactions, caring for the patient, and meeting the patient's needs.
