연구목적：본 연구는 일과성 틱 장애(Transient tic disorder：TTD), 만성 틱 장애(chronic tic disoder：CTD), 뚜렛 장애(Tourette's disorder：TD) 아동의 임상 양상을 비교하고, 틱 장애의 질환 심각도와 연관된 변인을 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 방 법：DSM-Ⅳ 진단분류에 따라 틱 장애로 진단된 69명의 아동과 대조군 43명을 대상으로 인구학적 변인 및 틱과 관련된 임상적 변인을 조사하였다. 틱 증상의 심각도를 알아보기 위해 예일 틱 증상 평가 척도(Yale Global Tic Severity Scale)을 시행하였으며 연구 대상 모두에게 동반된 정서/행동 문제를 평가하기 위해 아동 행동조사표(Child Behavior Checklist)를 시행하였다. 결 과：TTD군은 CTD 및 TD군과 비교할 때 틱 증상의 지속 기간이 짧을 뿐 아니라 틱 증상의 심각도와 장해 정도도 미약하였다. TTD군의 동반된 정서/행동 문제 역시 CTD, TD군에 비해 유의하게 적었으며 공격성 소척도 점수를 제외하고는 정상대조군과 차이가 없었다. CTD군과 TD군간에는 틱 증상의 종류, 개수와 CBCL의 사회성 문제 소척도 점수외에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내는 변인이 없었다. 틱 증상으로 인한 장해 정도를 가장 잘 예측해 주는 변인은 운동틱의 강도와 방해도, 틱 증상의 지속기간이었으며, CBCL 총 문제행동 점수와 가장 높은 연관성이 있는 변인은 주의력결핍/과잉운동장애(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder：ADHD)의 존재여부였다. 결 론：본 연구의 결과는 틱 증상의 심각도 외에 증상의 지속 기간이 틱 장애 아동들의 틱으로 인한 장해도에 큰 영향을 미치며, 동반된 ADHD의 존재가 이들의 임상상을 결정하는 데 있어 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 시사한다. 또한 위와 같은 임상 변인들이 틱 장애의 진단적 분류보다도 틱 장애 아동의 질환 심각도를 판단하고 치료방침을 결정하는데 있어 더욱 중요함을 시사한다.

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.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean Form of the Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (K-PUTS). Methods: Thirty-eight patients with Tourette's disorder who visited Jeonbuk National University Hospital were assessed with the K-PUTS. Together with the PUTS, the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS), the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) rating scale (ARS), and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) were implemented to evaluate concurrent and discriminant validity. Results: The internal consistency of items on the PUTS was high, with a Cronbach's α of 0.79. The test-retest reliability of the PUTS, which was administered at 2 weeks to 2 months intervals, showed high reliability with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.60. There was a significant positive correlation between the overall PUTS score and the YGTSS score, showing concurrent validity. There was no correlation between the PUTS, CY-BOCS, and ASRS scores, demonstrating the discriminant validity of the PUTS. Factor analysis for construct validity revealed three factors: "presumed functional relationship between the tic and the urge to tic," "the quality of the premonitory urge," and "just right phenomena." Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the K-PUTS is a reliable and valid scale for rating premonitory urge of tics.

In this study, a patient with both motor and vocal tic disorders of onset at age 34 was treated for a total of 316 days. The characteristics of the tic symptoms of the patient were examined and treated two to three times a week with herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, and habit reversal treatment along with western medication prescribed to the patient from a psychiatric clinic. Furthermore, the condition of the patient was evaluated once a week by the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS-K). Both motor and vocal tic symptoms deceased to a great amount after treatment and the patient was able to lower the dosage of western medication with the approval of her psychiatric doctor. This case suggests that Oriental medical treatment undergone with habit reversal treatment could improve tic disorders better than sole western medication treatment.

Objectives: To examine the effect of complex Korean medical treatment on tic disorder in children who visited the neuropsychiatric clinic of Korean medicine. Methods: Medical records of 35 patients diagnosed with tic disorder based on DSM-V who received complex Korean medical treatment (herbal medicine, acupuncture and Korean psychotherapy) were reviewed. Tic disorder was then evaluated by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) before and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment to determine whether their symptoms were improved. Results: 1) After the treatment, mean YGTSS was reduced from 35.54±14.77 to 23.20±12.65. There were statistically significant changes between scores according to the time of treatment (p< 0.05). 2) At the time of visit, symptoms of motor tics were in the order of eyes, neck and shoulders, mouth, head and arms & hands, nose, face, upper body and other parts, and legs and symptoms of vocal tics were in the order of sniffing, dry coughing and MMM, AA and whistling, and other sounds. 3) For 35 patients, herbal medicine was prescribed every two weeks. The frequency of prescriptions used was in the order of Shihogayonggolmoryo-tang, Gami-ondam-tang, and others. 4) The frequency of herbs used in 35 patients was in the order of Poria, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, Pinelliae Rhizoma and Scutellariae Radix, Bupleuri Radix, Ostreae Concha and Bovis Ossis Fossilia, and others. Conclusions: Complex Korean medical treatment including herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Korean psychotherapy is effective for reducing tic symptoms in children.
