Abstract

The occurrence of motor/vocal tics, that is, “extra movements” and/or “extra vocalizations,” is the leading diagnostic criterion for tic disorders. We show that extra movements are common also in healthy controls, so that a surplus of movements per se is not indicative of the presence of a tic disorder. This questions the usefulness of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition criteria for tic disorders in clinical practice. Apparently, it is not solely a surplus of movements that defines tic disorders. Instead, movement characteristics and patterns seem to play a crucial role. ANN NEUROL 2023;93:472–478.
