Habituation of premonitory sensations during exposure and response prevention treatment in Tourette’s syndrome
Abstract
Exposure to premonitory sensations and response prevention of tics (ER) has been shown to be a promising new treatment for Tourette's syndrome (TS). The present study tested the hypothesis that habituation to unpleasant premonitory sensations associated with the tic is an underlying mechanism of change in ER. Patients rated the severity of sensations and urges at 15-minute intervals during ten 2-hour ER sessions. Multilevel models using multiple time trend analyses showed significant reductions of the sensory severity ratings both within and between sessions. The decrease of these severity ratings was related to the frequency of tics exhibited during sessions, regardless of tic severity at baseline. These results support the hypothesis that habituation may be at least part of the underlying working mechanism of exposure in the treatment of tics in TS and that effective tic suppression during sessions is an important factor in this habituation process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
