Tic Disorder

Post describing how you can contribute (Video and Excel data entry)

This is a citizen science site -- you can contribute by investing and sharing your time.

Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

  1. Magnesium: Some studies suggest that magnesium supplementation might have potential benefits in reducing tics, particularly in individuals with Tourette syndrome. However, evidence supporting its effectiveness for tic disorders is not conclusive.

  2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil might have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially benefit individuals with tic disorders. Some limited research suggests that omega-3 supplementation might have a modest effect on reducing tic severity, but further studies are needed.

  3. Vitamin D: Adequate levels of vitamin D are important for overall health. While there's limited specific evidence related to tic disorders, maintaining optimal vitamin D levels might have general health benefits.

  4. Probiotics: While not directly related to tic disorders, some research suggests that probiotics might have a role in influencing overall health, including potential effects on the gut-brain axis and inflammation. However, specific effects on tic disorders require further investigation.
