About Our Clinic

The Tic Disorders Clinic & Research Unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School is one of only a few clinics in the United States specializing in the treatment and research of Tourette Syndrome (TS) and related tic disorders.

The program offers both clinical and research activities, including medication and non-medication treatments. The Research Unit is currently investigating new treatments for TS and related tic disorders. For eligible patients, treatment is available at no cost. In addition to clinical and research services, the Clinic serves an educational purpose, with research fellows and graduate students actively involved in research.

Tic disorders are often poorly understood among healthcare professionals and the general public. The mission of the Tic Disorders Clinic & Research Unit is to educate healthcare professionals and the general public, advance research, and conduct state-of-the-art treatment and research aimed at improving the standard of care for people suffering from TS and related tic disorders.
