본 연구에서는 만성 운동성 틱 장애와 뚜레뜨 장애가 같은 원인을 갖는 동일한 스펙트럼상의 장애인지, 아니면 표면적인 증상은 유사하지만 기저의 원인은 다른 별개의 장애인지를 규명하고자, 만성 운동성 틱 장애와 뚜레뜨 장애 집단이 심리검사 반응상에서 서로 구분되는 특성이 있는지를 알아보았다. 서울대학병원 소아정신과를 내원한 6세 이상 13세 이하와 환아들 중에서 소아정신과 의사에 의해 만성 운동성 틱 장애와 뚜레뜨 장애로 진단을 받았던 환아들(틱 집단 : N=29 ; 뚜레뜨 집단, N=10)이 본 연구에서 포함되었다. 두 집단의 심리 검사 반응 특성을 비교한 결과, 뚜레뜨 장애가 만성 운동성 틱 장애보다 더 신경학적인 문제와 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 뚜레뜨 장애 아동들이 만성 운동성 틱 장애 아동들보다 사회적 적응에 더 어려움이 있고, 정서적인 영향에 더 취약성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 만성 운동성 틱 장애보다 뚜레뜨 장애에 신경학적 요인, 불안이나 스트레스와 같은 정서적 요인, 그리고 기질적인 요인간의 복잡한 상호작용이 더 관련되어 있을 가능성을 시사한다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점 및 뚜레뜨 장애와 주의력결핍 과잉활동 장애간의 공통병리에 대한 연구의 필요성이 논의되었다.

Objectives: Comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (CBIT) is effective in children with chronic tic disorders. This study aimed to assess the effect of group-based CBIT (group-CBIT) on tic severity and comorbid symptoms. We compared the efficacy of group CBIT with that of a control. Methods: Thirty children with chronic tic disorder or Tourette's disorder were enrolled in this study. Eighteen were assigned to the group-CBIT for eight sessions, and 12 were assigned to the control group. Tics and comorbid symptoms were assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Rating Scale-IV, Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, and the Korean-Children Behavioral Checklist. We compared the pre- and post-intervention results of each group and determined the difference in the pre- and post-intervention results between intervention and the control group. Results: The YGTSS motor and vocal tic interference, global impairment, and global severity scores decreased in the intervention group only. Group CBIT was superior in reducing the motor tic interference, impairment score, and global severity score to the control group. Conclusion: The group-CBIT showed an improvement in tic symptoms, especially in reducing the level of interference and impairment of tics.

Tics are sudden, painless, nonrhythmic behaviors that are either motor or vocal. As to DSM- VI diagnostic criteria, chronic tic disorder is either single or multiple motor or phonic tics, but not both, which are present for more than a year. In this case, a male patient was diagnosed tics disorder at 8 years old. He has suffered for 15 years and his symptom was simple motor tics of neck, both arms and both legs, not vocal tics. So we diagnosed him as the chronic tic disorder. The severity score headache was assessed using the Visual Analog Scales. The severity score tics was assessed at baseline using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and we compared score of before with after treatment. We treated him with oriental medication( herbal medicine, acupuncture, cry cupping) and progressive muscle relaxation. After this treatment, chronic insomnia and extreme headache were disappeard and the symptoms of tics were mildly decreased.

Tic disorder which is purposeless, repeated, unexpected, involuntary behavior and voice can be divided into motor, vocal tic. Tic disorder belongs to pediatic psychosomatic disease. In four clinical cases, patients between the age of 6 to 15 consisted of three males and one females. They all are the eldest or only son and have the parental behavioral, home background and studing problem. The patients appealed to eye blinking in tic early stage and belong to chronic motor or vocal tic disorder or transient tic disorder without tourette's disorder. When estimated by an appraisal standard of Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS). Four patients administered Bosimgeunatang known to invigorating the heart, relieving mental stress improved.

Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애는 7세 전후한 연령에서 가장 흔히 시작되는 소아 또는 청소년기의 행동장애로서 서로 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있으며, 또한 유전적인 경향이 아주 강한 질환들로 알려져 있다. 원인으로서도 여러가지 가설이 있으나 뇌의 기능 또는 기질적인 장애로 인하여 발병될 가능성도 클 것으로 추정되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 이 질환들의 생물학적인 원인들 중 일부를 살펴보기 위하여 단일광자방출 전산화단층촬영술을 시행하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 31.0%(13/42)에서 대뇌피질의 혈류감소 소견을 보였으며, 전두엽이 가장 흔한 혈류 이상 소견을 보인 부위였다.2) 4.8%(2/42)애서 대뇌기저핵의 혈류에 감소를 나타내었다. 3) 4.8%(2/42)에서 시상부의 혈류감소가 관찰되었다. 4) 16.7%(7/42)에서 소뇌의 혈류감소가 관찰되었다. 5) 주의력결핍과잉운동장애가 동반된 군과 동반되지 않은 군간에 혈류장애의 빈도에 있어서의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 6) Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애에 있어서, 혈류장애가 동반된 빈도에 있어서의 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 걸과로 미루어 Tourette씨병과 만성틱장애의 생물학적인 원인중의 하나로 뇌혈류장애와 관계가 있을 가능성이 있으며, 뇌혈류의 정도를 정량화시키거나, 또는 자기공명영상과 같은 방법을 병행하여 연구를 시행함으로써, 본 연구의 타당성을 높여줄 수 있으리라 기대된다.

It was observed that the effectiveness of Yin-yang balancing therapy of the tempromandibular joint (YBT) or functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCS) in three cases: an acute and a chronic motor tic disorder and a Tourrette's disorder (TD). These three cases were mainly managed with cervical balancing appliance for the Yin-yang Balancing on tempromandibular joint (TMJ) and pelvic balance therapy. They were treated concurrently with acupuncture, cupping and herb-medicine. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures with visual analogue scale (VAS), Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTTS) and clinical observations for 235, 279 and 273 days respectively. The patient showed positive changes after the treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. Although it is not clear whether the effect is sustained afterwards or not, a positive effect on the motor tic disorders and TD was observed. And so, furthermore strict clinical and structural researches for verification on YBT is expected.

Objectives: According to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, the main categories of tic disorders (F95.0, F95.1, and F95.2) follow a diagnostic hierarchy based on the duration and diversity of tic symptoms. The present study investigated the use of this diagnostic hierarchy in real-world clinical practice. Methods: Based on the National Health Insurance Service-National Health Information Database, the diagnosis of transient tic disorder (F95.0) made after a diagnosis of chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (F95.1) or Tourette's syndrome (F95.2) and diagnosis of chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (F95.1) made after a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome (F95.2) were referred to as type A errors. The diagnosis of transient tic disorder (F95.0) repeated after a period of >12 months was referred to as type B error. Demographic and clinical differences according to the diagnostic error types were analyzed using analysis of variance, Student's t-tests, and chi-squared tests. Results: Most participants (96.5%) were without errors in the diagnosis of tic disorders. Higher proportions of males (p=0.005) and antipsychotic prescriptions (p<0.001) were observed in patients with type A or B diagnostic errors. A higher proportion of health insurance holders was observed among those with type A errors (p=0.027). Conclusion: Errors were absent in majority of the tic diagnoses in real-world clinical practice in terms of the diagnostic hierarchy.
