Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Can Tourette's syndrome be cured without medication?Doctor's answer:
The cause of Tourette Syndrome is not yet fully understood. It primarily manifests as uncontrolled local muscle twitches, and if the throat muscles are affected, it may also lead to abnormal vocalizations, similar to swearing. This condition requires oral medication for treatment; without treatment, it cannot heal on its own. It is necessary to take oral medication promptly to suppress the symptoms of your twitches.
