简要总结
Although behavior therapy is recognized as a first-line intervention for Tourette's Disorder (TD), less than 40% of adults with TD respond to this evidence-based treatment. Limited tolerance for aversive premonitory urges and affective states that accompany tics may be one likely factor that impedes behavior therapy outcomes. This study examines the relationship between distress tolerance and tic inhibition among adults with TD, and investigates the mechanism and effect of therapeutic skills training to enhance distress tolerance abilities. Findings will determine the optimal approach to enhance distress tolerance among adults with TD and ultimately lead to better behavior therapy outcomes.
详细描述
Tourette's Disorder and other persistent tic disorders collectively affect about about 1% of the population, cause significant distress, and functional impairment. Although behavior therapy is recognized as a first-line intervention for Tourette's Disorder (TD), less than 40% of adults with TD respond to this evidence-based treatment. Limited tolerance for aversive premonitory urges and affective states that accompany tics may be one likely factor that impedes behavior therapy outcomes. This study examines the relationship between distress tolerance and tic inhibition among adults with TD, and investigates the mechanism and effect of therapeutic skills training to enhance distress tolerance abilities.

结局指标
主要结局
Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS)
时间窗: Within 1 week after completion of Distress Tolerance Skills Training
The Distress Tolerance Scale is a 15-item self-report measure that measures the perceived capacity to tolerate distress from a multidimensional framework, including tolerance, appraisal, absorption, and regulation. Items are rated on a 1-5 Likert scale, and then summed. Score ranges from 15-75. Higher total scores indicate greater difficulty with tolerating distress.
