“…While the original, English-language version of the PUTS has demonstrated good psychometric properties [37], recent investigations have taken strides to translate and validate the instrument across cultures. Thus far, there have been promising results for Chinese- [35] and Spanish- [38] language versions of the PUTS among youth with TS. Building off of the PUTS, McGuire et al developed and validated the Individualized Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (I-PUTS), a clinician-report instrument that captures the presence, frequency and intensity of premonitory urges associated with individual tics [39].…”

Purpose of review Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorders, collectively referred to as TS, are relatively common childhood onset neuropsychiatric conditions associated with functional impairment and distress. Over the past several years, clinical research has contributed to the advancement of the field's understanding of mechanisms and clinical correlates of TS. This progress has led to the development of key assessment tools and the implementation of novel interventions for individuals with TS. Recent findings This article provides a review of innovative TS research focusing on four key themes: investigation of clinical phenomenology of TS; validation of assessment tools for TS; dissemination of current evidence-based treatments for TS, and exploration of new intervention programs. Summary Cumulatively, this growing body of work presents considerable progress and provides a path forward to improve the assessment and treatment of Tourette syndrome.

“…Validated scales for measuring PU include the Premonitory Urges for Tic Disorders Scale (PUTS) (15), its adapted version Premonitory Urges for Tic Disorders Scale-Revised (PUTS-R)(16) and Individualized Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (I-PUTS) (17), Sensory Processing and Self-Regulation Checklist (SPSRC)(18), Rumination and Awareness Scale for tic-associated sensations (RASTS) (19), and University of Sao Paulo Sensory Phenomena Scale (USP-SPS) (20). Among these tools, PUTS (15) stands out as the most widely used, with translations and validations available in numerous languages (21)(22)(23).…”

Background Sensory symptoms linked to tic disorder (TD) are challenging to quantify via self-or parent-reported measures. The current study aimed to develop a novel observer-rated semi-structured interview, namely the Sensory Phenomenon Assessment Scale (SPAS), to aid clinical evaluation on symptoms of tic disorder among children.Methods To test its psychometric properties, tic, premonitory urge (PU) and obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) were also assessed in 223 children via the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), Premonitory Urge for Tic Scale (PUTS) and the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). Factor analysis and internal consistency test were carried out using data from TD-diagnosed individuals.Results Good internal consistency and test-retest reliability were observed. Criterion validity was established by significant correlations between the PUTS, the YGTSS, the CY-BOCS, and scores of the SPAS. Factor analyses supported a single-factor model of the SPAS, in which the 5 items each showed a factor loading above 0.6.Conclusion This study demonstrated that the SPAS is reliable and valid, thus can serve as a good and concise measure of clinical symptoms among children and adolescents with tic disorder.
