Table 9.

Lists the RCT associated with tics and BoNT.

Study Study Design and Goal Sample Size and Method Results
Marras et al., 2001 [260] Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over trial
Formulation: onabotulinumtoxinA
Assessed if BoNT was useful for simple motor tics
n = 18
Tics involving face, neck, or shoulder were selected for BoNT. Patients were either injected with onabotulinumtoxinA or placebo
Blinking and head turning were the most common tics treated
Median proportional change in placebo was +5.8% and BoNT was –39%
BoNT helped decrease the premonitory urge and the frequency of tics.

Abbreviation: BoNT—Botulinum toxin.
