Means, standard deviations, p values, and effect size. Weekly comparison of motor tic, vocal tic, total tic, impairment, global severity, parent SNAP-IV subcategory scores, and OAS Scores using repeated measures analyses. Indicated p values are post-Bonferroni correction. N = 12. SNAP scores are presented as average score per individual item.

SD = standard deviation; YGTSS = Yale Global Tic Severity Scale; SNAP IV = Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Questionnaire revision; OAS = Overt Aggression Scale; MASC = Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children.
