“…However, the study had a small sample, and it utilized a visuospatial response inhibition task that is heavily influenced by visuospatial abilities that may mask inhibitory function. In contrast, our results are in accord with a more recent study that reported no association between treatment repsonse and performance on a stimulus-response compatibility inhibition task in a sample of 20 TS/CTD patients (Morand-Beaulieu et al, 2015). …”

“…Notably, the authors used this task to assess response inhibition, although the task was visuospatial in nature which poses difficulties in differentiating between the predictive value of visuospatial function versus response inhibition. In a recent study, however, Morand-Beaulieu and colleagues (2015) employed a stimulus-response compatibility inhibition task in a sample of 20 TS/CTD adult patients and 20 controls and found no performance difference between pre- and post-treatment. Thus, the goal of this study was to utilize gold standard tasks of inhibitory control—namely, the GO/No-Go (GNG) test assessing response inhibition, and the Stroop test, assessing interference control—to predict treatment response to CBIT among adults with TS and CTD.…”

Tourette’s disorder (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by involuntary vocal and motor tics. Consequently, TS/CTD have been conceptualized as disorders of cognitive and motor inhibitory control. However, most neurocognitive studies have found comparable or superior inhibitory capacity among individuals with TS/CTD relative to healthy controls. These findings have led to the hypothesis that individuals with TS/CTD develop increased inhibitory control due to the constant need to inhibit tics. However, the role of cognitive control in TS/CTD is not yet understood, particularly in adults. To examine the role of inhibitory control in TS/CTD, the present study investigated this association by assessing the relationship between inhibitory control and treatment response in a large sample of adults with TS/CTD. As part of a large randomized trial comparing behavior therapy versus supportive psychotherapy for TS/CTD, a battery of tests, including tests of inhibitory control was administered to 122 adults with TS/CTD at baseline. We assessed the association between neuropsychological test performance and change in symptom severity, as well as compared the performance of treatment responders and non-responders as defined by the Clinical Global Impression Scale. Results indicated that change in symptoms, and treatment response were not associated with neuropsychological performance on tests of inhibitory control, intellectual ability, or motor function, regardless of type of treatment. The finding that significant change in symptom severity of TS/CTD patients is not associated with impairment or change in inhibitory control regardless of treatment type suggests that inhibitory control may not be a clinically relevant facet of these disorders in adults.

“…Longitudinal data indicate that small P3 amplitudes in childhood are predictive of substance abuse [38] and criminality in adulthood [36]. Interestingly, previous studies show that P3 amplitudes can be normalized through psychological intervention in various patient populations (including adults with depression, cognitive impairment and Tic disorders) [75][76][77]. The cross-sectional design of our study limits us from drawing such strong conclusions about the role of the P3.…”

Psychosocial intervention in at-risk adolescents: using event-related potentials to assess changes in decision making and feedback processing

Decision making and feedback processing are two important cognitive processes that are impacted by social context, particularly during adolescence. The current study examined whether a psychosocial intervention could improve psychological wellbeing in at-risk adolescent boys, thereby improving their decision making and feedback processing skills. Two groups of at-risk adolescents were compared: those who were relatively new to a psychosocial intervention, and those who had engaged over a longer time period. Electroencephalography was recorded while the young people participated in a modified version of the Taylor Aggression Paradigm. The late positive potential (LPP) was measured during the decision phase of the task (where participants selected punishments for their opponents). The feedback-related negativity (FRN) and P3 components were measured during the task's outcome phase (where participants received 'win' or 'lose' feedback). Adolescents who were new to the intervention (the minimal-intervention group) were harsher in their punishment selections than those who had been engaged in the program for much longer. The minimal-intervention group also showed an enhanced LPP during the decision phase of the task, which may be indicative of immature decision making in that group. Analysis of the FRN and P3 amplitudes revealed that the minimal-intervention group was physiologically hypo-sensitive to feedback, compared with the extended-intervention group. Overall, these findings suggest that long-term community-based psychosocial intervention programs are beneficial for at-risk adolescents, and that event-related potentials can be employed as biomarkers of therapeutic change. However, because participants were not randomly allocated to treatment groups, alternative explanations cannot be excluded until further randomized controlled trials are undertaken.

“…Concerning psychotherapies, habit reversal training has shown efficacy in TTM 198,[239][240][241][242][243][244][245] and TS, 243,[245][246][247][248] while exposure response prevention (ERP) seems to be the most efficient psychotherapy for OCD. 243,249,250 Discussion TTM is widely and rightly accepted as a part of the OCD spectrum, based in part on its repetitive phenomenology.…”

Trichotillomania is more related to Tourette disorder than to obsessive-compulsive disorder

Objective: Trichotillomania (TTM) is characterized by the pulling out of one's hair. TTM was classified as an impulse control disorder in DSM-IV, but is now classified in the obsessive-compulsive related disorders section of DSM-5. Classification for TTM remains an open question, especially considering its impact on treatment of the disorder. In this review, we questioned the relation of TTM to tic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Method: We reviewed relevant MEDLINE-indexed articles on clinical, neuropsychological, neurobiological, and therapeutic aspects of trichotillomania, OCD, and tic disorders. Results: Our review found a closer relationship between TTM and tic disorder from neurobiological (especially imaging) and therapeutic standpoints. Conclusion: We sought to challenge the DSM-5 classification of TTM and to compare TTM with both OCD and tic disorder. Some discrepancies between TTM and tic disorders notwithstanding, several arguments are in favor of a closer relationship between these two disorders than between TTM and OCD, especially when considering implications for therapy. This consideration is essential for patients.
