- Behavioural therapy (BT) effectively reduces tic symptoms in children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome/chronic tic disorder (TS/CTD).
- Improvements in tic severity, measured by YGTSS and PTQ, are sustained through follow-up periods.
- BT may alleviate secondary emotional burdens and improve overall mental health in this population.
- The meta-analysis included 11 studies with 942 participants, confirming BT's efficacy compared to controls.
