Abstract
Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) approaches are among the most popular and widely utilized treatments in Tourette syndrome (TS). CIM approaches most frequently reported to be used by patients with TS are dietary modification, allergy treatment, prayer, vitamins, massage, nutritional and dietary supplements, chiropractic manipulation, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, hypnosis, homeopathy, and biofeedback. Research evidence suggests that a number of CIM approaches are potentially useful in TS, yet there are methodological limitations in all studies. The approaches that appear to have most promise based on the evidence to date are 5Ling Granule, hypnosis, biofeedback, ω3 fatty acids, cannabinoids, and Ningdong granule.
