ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on individuals with Tourette syndrome, a condition that causes involuntary movements and sounds called tics. The researchers at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris are looking for patients who have severe Tourette syndrome that hasn’t responded to other treatments. If you’re eligible, you need to be willing to participate and be part of the French social security system.

Participants in the trial will be evaluated before the surgery and then once a year for five years after the DBS procedure. The study will look at how the treatment affects tic severity, any related mental health issues, overall quality of life, and cognitive functions. This information will help researchers understand how effective DBS is for people with Tourette syndrome and how it can improve their daily lives.
