“…Desipramine is now rarely used in children after several case reports of sudden death associated with the use of this medication. 37 People with tics receiving active DBS of the globus pallidus are probably more likely than those receiving sham DBS of the globus pallidus to have reduced tic severity (SMD 0.77 [95% CI 0.14-1.40], 2 Class II studies 38,39 [adults only]).…”

“…Although preliminary findings suggest that deep brain stimulation of the anterior internal pallidum (aGPi‐DBS) may reduce symptoms of severe and refractory forms of TS, long‐term outcomes have not been fully reported . We prospectively followed 16 TS patients treated with aGPi‐DBS for 48 months . The trial was conducted in 8 academic centers in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines and approved by the local ethics committee (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00478842).…”

“…However, the optimal target region needs still to be defined . Two structures stand out as the most frequently used DBS targets: the centromedian/parafascicular (CM‐Pf) complex of the intralaminar thalamus and the globus pallidus internus (GPi) . An international prospective, multicenter registry including data from 185 patients has recently reported a robust improvement of TS symptoms, highlighting the therapeutic potential of neuromodulation approaches for medically refractory TS patients .…”
