XTics - A Gamified Enhancer of Non-Pharmacological Interventions in Tic Disorders

The investigators developed a neuroscientifically-informed gamified tic-therapy platform. The investigators previously identified tic-triggering elements in movies and video games. Next, the investigators employed these elements to generate and validate a gamified intervention protocol, which is based on a video game the investigators designed (called XTics). The study tests the efficacy of the gamified tool integrated in an exposure and response prevention (ERP) protocol to enhance both patient's compliance and clinical outcome.
