Sensory hypersensitivity in Tourette syndrome: A review
Sensory symptoms in body-focused repetitive behaviors, restless legs syndrome, and Tourette syndrome: An overlap?
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome: An overview
TLDR
A better understanding of the mechanisms at the root of tic production can pave the way to the development of more effective treatment interventions for patients with GTS in order to improve their health-related quality of life (QOL).
Sensory Hypersensitivity Severity and Association with Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms in Adults with Tic Disorder
TLDR
Sensory hypersensitivity is prominent in adults with tic disorder and is independently associated with obsessive-compulsive symptom severity.
Clinical Features That Evoke the Concept of Disinhibition in Tourette Syndrome
TLDR
The different clinical features of TS from distinct categorical domains that evoke the concept of disinhibition and discuss their associations are presented and evidence for their consideration as phenomena of inhibitory dysfunction is presented.
Aripiprazole for the treatment of Tourette syndrome
TLDR
Overall, it appears that aripiprazole is a safe and effective treatment for tics, and further large scale RCTs assessing the long-term efficacy and safety of aripIPrazole in the treatment of tics are warranted, especially in adult populations with TS.

Social stigma and self-perception in adolescents with tourette syndrome
TLDR
The present paper reviews the current literature on stigma and self-perception in adolescents with TS in order to inform clinical decisions about management strategies and possible interventions to improve health-related quality of life.
Dopamine-2 receptor antibody encephalitis presenting as pure tongue-biting in a tourette syndrome patient: a case report
TLDR
Clinicians should discern D2R encephalitis in TS patients when tics are the primary symptoms, and Administering immunotherapy early, according to clinical characteristics, may benefit the patient.
Clinical Correlates of Health-Related Quality of Life in Adults With Chronic Tic Disorder
TLDR
It is found that GTS-QOL score was significantly associated with scores from all other rating scales, with the exception of the PUTS, and the regression model including these five independent variables, as well as sex, explained 79% of G TS-Qol score variance.

Neurobiology of the Premonitory Urge in Tourette's Syndrome: Pathophysiology and Treatment Implications.
TLDR
This article reviews the existing literature on the clinical and neurobiological aspects of the premonitory urge in patients with TS, with focus on its pathophysiology and possible treatment implications.
Premonitory urges in Tourette's syndrome.
TLDR
The results suggest that premonitory urges may be commonplace in adolescent and adult subjects with tic disorders and challenge the conventional wisdom that tic behaviors are wholly involuntary in character.
Premonitory Urges and Sensorimotor Processing in Tourette Syndrome
TLDR
A systematic literature review of the published studies addressing the pathophysiological mechanisms of premonitory urges identified some preliminary evidence for specific alterations in sensorimotor processing at both cortical and subcortical levels.
Quantitative Sensory Testing in adults with Tourette syndrome.
Sensory phenomena associated with Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome.
TLDR
The sensory phenomena must be understood by clinicians who treat TS sufferers, as this study shows that they add significantly to the impairment caused by TS.
Premonitory urges for tics in adult patients with Tourette syndrome
Premonitory urges are associated with decreased grey matter thickness within the insula and sensorimotor cortex in young people with Tourette syndrome
TLDR
It is demonstrated for the first time that PSP are inversely associated withgrey matter thickness measurements within the insula and sensorimotor cortex, and it is demonstrated that grey matter thickness is significantly reduced in these areas in individuals with TS relative to a closely age‐ and gender‐matched group of typically developing individuals.
Sensory phenomena: Clinical correlates and impact on quality of life in adult patients with Tourette syndrome
Sensory sensitivity to external stimuli in Tourette syndrome patients
TLDR
It is indicated that patients' perceived sensitivity derives from altered central processing rather than enhanced peripheral detection, and one aspect of processing: the perception of intensity.
