Contributed by Hubert Fernandez, MD Department of Neurology Cleveland Clinic Cleveland, Ohio USA to view videos depicting tics and Tourette syndrome (Members Only) A “tic” is an involuntary movement or vocalization that is usually sudden onset, brief, repetitive, stereotyped but non rhythmical in character, frequently imitating normal behavior, often occurring out of a background of normal activity. Tics are usually associated with a premonitory sensation or “build up” sensation to perform the specific movement, and usually are associated with the sensation of relief once performed. Tics can be classified as motor or vocal.
Motor tics are associated with movements, while vocal tics are associated with sound. Tics can also be categorized as simple or complex.
Simple motor tics involve only a few muscles usually restricted to a specific body part. They can be clonic (abrupt in onset and rapid), tonic (isometric contraction of the involved body part) or dystonic (sustained abnormal posture).
Examples of simple motor tics include: eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, facial grimacing, neck stretching, mouth movements, jaw clenching and spitting. Simple vocal tics consist of sounds that do not form words, such as: throat clearing, grunting, coughing, and sniffing. The DSM-IV divide tic disorders in three main categories: transient tic disorders, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder and Tourette disorder.
