Patients with tics will be asked to complete a series of validated questionnaires (in
electronic and/or paper format) regarding symptoms and conditions often associated with
Tourette syndrome, including premonitory urges, sensory experiences, inattention,
obsessive-compulsive tendencies, anxiety, and depression. Participants will also be asked to
complete a quality of life assessment. This series of questionnaires will be administered
annually.

Patients with tics will be recruited to participate in an observational study assessing
extent and variation in non-motor features of Tourette syndrome over time. Each participant
will complete a battery of validated questionnaires and scales online or in paper format (per
patient preference), including the Premonitory Urge to Tic Scale (PUTS), the Sensory Gating
Inventory (SGI), the Sensory Perception Quotient, the World Health Organization ADHD
Self-Report Screening Scale, and others. These questionnaires will be administered annually
to patients.
