Research Studies
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to improve our understanding of conditions like ADHD, ASD, and OCD in youth by identifying a common process that impacts their ability to regulate thoughts. We are also interested in exploring how individuals with the aforementioned disorders regulate their thoughts and how this affects their mental well-being. The current study has important implications for developing new therapeutic techniques that could help with multiple conditions and be useful in everyday settings, beyond a clinical setting.

Summary
The purpose of a registry is to collect information in order to help doctors, researchers and patients learn more about a disease or condition. This information will include data on age, gender, diagnosis, comorbid conditions and symptom severity. It will be used for research purposes, which will aid in our understanding of tic disorders. This will help us to improve upon the care and quality of life of people with tic disorders.
There are two tic registries: one for adults and one for children. To participate in the Tic Disorders Clinical Registry, we will record information on the patient's (adult or child) age, gender, diagnosis, other conditions present and the severity of their symptoms. This information is collected during typical clinic visits, but we need yours and your child’s permission to use this data in a registry for research purposes.
