Tourette’s syndrome, aripiprazole, treatmentAbstract
Tourette’s syndrome is a movement disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics that arise in childhood and adolescence; half to two-thirds of the cases remit still in these stages. The disorder is more rarely found in adulthood, usually having a guarded prognosis and symptoms that are difficult to control in this population. This article describes the use of aripiprazole for the treatment of Tourette’s syndrome in a young male adult and conducts a narrative literature review of the evidence currently available on the use of this medication.
