Disruptive behavior is common in children with autism spectrum disorder. Behavioral interventions are used to treat disruptive but have not been evaluated large-scale randomized trials.To evaluate the efficacy of parent training for disorder and behavior.This 24-week trial compared (n = 89) education 91) at 6 centers (Emory University, Indiana Ohio State University Pittsburgh, Rochester, Yale University). We screened 267 children; 180 (aged 3-7 years) behaviors were randomly assigned (86%...
Context: Tics in Tourette syndrome begin childhood, peak early adolescence, and often decrease by adulthood.However, some adult patients continue to have impairing tics.Medications for tics are effective but can cause adverse effects.Behavior therapy may offer an alternative has not been examined a large-scale controlled trial adults.Objective: To test the efficacy of comprehensive behavioral intervention adults with at least moderate severity.Design: A randomized posttreatment evaluations 3...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To examine moderators and predictors of response to behavior therapy for tics in children adults with Tourette syndrome chronic tic disorders. <h3>Methods:</h3> Data from 2 10-week, multisite studies (1 1 adults; total n = 248) comparing comprehensive behavioral intervention (CBIT) psychoeducation supportive (PST) were combined moderator analyses. Participants (177 male, 71 female) had a mean age 21.5 ± 13.9 years (range 9–69). Demographic clinical characteristics,...
Background: Most children with Tourette's syndrome (TS) experience a significant decline in tic symptoms during adolescence. Currently no clinical measures have been identified that can predict whose will persist into adulthood. Patients TS deficits on neuropsychological tests involving fine‐motor coordination and visual‐motor integration. We seek to determine if these are useful predicting future symptom severity. Methods: Thirty‐two children, aged 8–14, underwent evaluation focused testing...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to examine adaptive, emotional, and family functioning in a well-characterized group children adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) evaluate influence comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) on levels impairment various functional domains. METHOD: included 287 (191 boys, 96 girls) ages 7–18 years. Fifty-six subjects had diagnosis OCD only, 43 both ADHD, 95 93 were unaffected comparison children. Best estimate DSM-IV diagnoses...
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common yet complex neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by social, communication and behavioral deficits. Behavioral interventions have shown favorable results—however, the promise of precision medicine in ASD is hampered a lack sensitive, objective neurobiological markers (neurobiomarkers) to identify subgroups young children likely respond specific treatments. Such neurobiomarkers essential because early childhood provides sensitive...
Research has shown that motor and vocal tics fluctuate in frequency, intensity, form response to environmental contextual cues. Behavioral models have proposed some of the variation may reflect context-dependent interactive learning processes such once are performed, they influenced by contingencies. The current study describes results a function-based assessment (FBAT) from recently completed comparing Comprehensive Intervention for Tics (CBIT) with supportive psychotherapy. frequency which...
Objective: To evaluate the tolerability, safety, and preliminary efficacy of extended-release guanfacine in children with chronic tic disorders, including Tourette's disorder (collectively referred to as CTD). Methods: This was a multisite, 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The primary outcome measure Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) total score. Key secondary outcomes included Improvement item Clinical Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) scale Symptom Self-report...
