Tic disorders are defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) based on type (motor or phonic) and duration of tics (sudden, rapid, nonrhythmic movements).[1] Tic disorders are defined similarly by the World Health Organization (ICD-10 codes).[2]

The fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published in May 2013, reclassified Tourette's and tic disorders as motor disorders listed in the neurodevelopmental disorder category, and replaced transient tic disorder with provisional tic disorder, but made few significant other changes.[3][4][5] Motor disorders include:

  • 307.21 Provisional tic disorder
  • 307.22 Persistent (chronic) motor or vocal tic disorder
  • 307.23 Tourette's disorder

DSM-IV-TR[]

In the fourth revision of the DSM (DSM-IV-TR), tic disorders were classified as follows:[6]

  • Transient tic disorder consisted of multiple motor and/or phonic tics with duration of at least 4 weeks, but less than 12 months.
  • Chronic tic disorder was either single or multiple motor or phonic tics, but not both, which are present for more than a year.
  • Tourette syndrome was diagnosed when both motor and phonic tics are present for more than a year.
  • Tic Disorder NOS was diagnosed when tics are present, but do not meet the criteria for any specific tic disorder.

Tic disorders onset in childhood (before the age of 18), and are not due to the effects of medication or another medical condition.

DSM-IV-TR diagnosis codes for the tic disorders were:[7]

  • 307.20 Tic Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)
  • 307.21 Transient Tic Disorder
  • 307.22 Chronic Motor or Vocal Tic Disorder
  • 307.23 Tourette's Disorder

ICD10 diagnosis codes are:[8]

  • F95.0 Transient tic disorder
  • F95.1 Chronic motor or vocal tic disorder
  • F95.2 Combined vocal and multiple motor tic disorder [de la Tourette]
  • F95.8 Other tic disorders
  • F95.9 Tic disorder, unspecified

Prevalence[]

A large, community-based study suggested that over 19% of school-age children have tic disorders;[9] the children with tic disorders in that study were usually undiagnosed.

As many as 1 in 100 people may experience some form of tic disorder, usually before the onset of puberty.[10] Tourette syndrome is the more severe expression of a spectrum of tic disorders, which are thought to be due to the same genetic vulnerability. Nevertheless, most cases of Tourette syndrome are not severe. Although a significant amount of investigative work indicates genetic linkage of the various tic disorders, further study is needed to confirm the relationship.[11]

Treatment[]

Treatment of tic disorders, although not usually necessary, is similar to treatment of Tourette syndrome. Tics should be distinguished from other causes of tourettism.
