Abstract

|
|
Objectives: To establish a base for further research by reviewing studies on traditional Chinese medi-cine treatment for Tourette Syndrome. This is the purpose of this study.
Methods: Clinical studies involving the effects of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for Tourette Syndrome, published January 2010∼June 2017, were obtained from CNKI, Pubmed. Selected Studies were evaluated by the Jadad Scale.
Results: Among a total of 252 articles, 39 articles that meet the criteria were selected. ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-Ⅳ)’ was most frequently used as diagnosis criteria. ‘Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS)’ was primarily used for outcome measurements. Most of the studies showed effective results of traditional Chinese medicine therapy. However, the quality of a selected clinical studies was low.
Conclusions: Despite several limitations, various studies to prove limited yet effective traditional Chinese medicine treatment on Tourette Syndrome provides much significance. Subsequent studies conducted by the complementary systematic review and well-designed clinical trials using the meth-odological quality will be needed to more firmly validate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine therapy.
