Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Posterior Parietal Cortex in Patients Suffering From Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome
Sponsor: Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
Summary
Repetitive transcranial stimulation (rTMS) of the posterior parietal cortex will be applied daily over five days in adult Gilles de la Tourette patients. This approach aims at reducing premonitory sensations believed to induce tics. Patients will be randomized to an active or placebo (sham) group in a crossover design.
