Résumé
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disorder of the nervous system that causes motor and vocal tics. Tics occur as sudden onset, rapid stereotyped purposeless movements or sounds. Combination therapies can be utilized for adequate control of motor and vocal tics. Patients diagnosed with TS and treated with aripiprazole and guanfacine from 2011-2022 at Saint Louis University Hospital were retrospectively surveyed. Three patients with TS treated with aripiprazole and guanfacine experienced significant improvement or complete resolution of their motor and vocal tics. In our cohort of three patients, the combination of guanfacine and aripiprazole significantly improved or resolved motor and vocal tics that were previously poorly controlled on other traditional medications.
