A various of antipsychotic drugs are commonly used in drug treatment.
However, there are some side effects:
"Avoid asking or expecting children to stop tics in case it get twitch rebound".
Research showed that when giving electrical signal to the specific region of the basal ganglia (基底核),
the number of tics would moderately reduce,

The tics is an underactivity (不活躍) in brainwaves that normally keep us still.

A type of brain surgery.
It implants wires into specific locations in the brain and uses electrical stimulation from a brain pacemaker (腦部節律器) to regulate abnormal brain activity messages.
We designed a bracelet applies an electrical current to the wrist, the current then travels up the nerves to the brain and change brainwaves.
The current is mild with a specific frequency. It is noticeable but not uncomfortable. The current then induces oscillations at the same frequency in the neighbouring motor cortex (運動皮層).
