Study on the clinical efficacy and change of life quality through using the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention Treatment for Tics (CBIT)

Read the detailed description

This study tried to explore the clinical effect of comprehensive behavioral intervention therapy (CBIT) on tic symptoms and the effect of improving the quality of life in children with tic disorders;explore the optimal treatment plan for tic disorder by comparing the clinical efficacy of CBIT therapy, drug therapy, and psychosocial education; explore the feasibility of using quality of life as an evaluation index for functional recovery after tic disorder treatment;

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • comprehensive behavioral intervention therapy (CBIT)Behavioural

    Comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics is an extension of habit reversal training. It includes an expanded set of strategies, such as psycho-education about tic disorders, tic awareness training, competing response training, relaxation training, and functional analysis.

    According to the CBIT treatment manual (translated by sun Jinhua and Xu Wen, the author were Douglas W. woods et al., Oxford University Press, New York). The treatments consisted of 8 sessions for 10 weeks The first two phases were 1.5 hours, the last six stages were 1 hour.The treatment process was regularly supervised by a treatment supervisor.

  • Aripiprazole 5Mg Oral TabletDrug

    Considering the patients with chronic tic disorder (chronic motor or vocal tic disorder or Tourette's disorder), aripiprazole was selected as a single drug with constant dose during the treatment. In case of extrapyramidal side effects, benhexol was given to reduce the extrapyramidal side effects, and the dosage and duration of medication were recorded

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reduction rate of Tic symptom severity before and after intervention

    Tic symptom severity is estimated by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale Total Tic score. The YGTSS is a clinician-rated scale used to assess tic severity over the prior week. It includes a checklist of motor and vocal tics followed by an assessment of the number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and inference of motor tics and phonic tics-scored separately. Each of these dimensions is scored on a 0 to 5 scale. The YGTSS provides three tic severity scores: Total Motor (0 to 25); Total Phonic (0 to 25) and the combined Total Tic Severity Score (0 to 50), as well as a separate Impairment dimension scored from0 to 50. The Total Tic Score (YGTSS-TTS) was used in these analyses.Lower scores indicate improvement and higher scores indicate worsening.

    Reduction rate = (YGTSS total score before intervention - YGTSS total score after intervention) / YGTSS total score before treatment × 100%

    Measured: Baseline, the tenth week of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. overall treatment response

    The overall treatment response is measured by CG-I. This is a repeated measurement variable.The CGI-I was used to measure overall treatment response. The scores range from 1 (very much improved) to 4 (no change) to 7 (very much worse). We defined positive response as a score of 1 or 2 (much improved or very much improved).

    Measured: The fifth week and the tenth week of treatment and three month after treatment end

  2. life quality

    Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and Child Tourette's Syndrome Impairment Scale(CTIM) were used to assessed health-related QoL.This is a repeated measurement variable.

    PedsQL was a widely used 15-item measure assessed health-related QoL. Parents were asked to rate how often a particular item had been a problem during the past month using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from ''never a problem'' to ''almost always a problem." Total scores were linearly transformed to a scale of 0 to 100. Higher scores indicated better QoL. Four subscales measured physical, emotional, social, and school functioning.

    The CTIM-P is a 37-item parent-rated instrument that includes school, home, and social activities that may be impaired by their child's tics or a co-morbid problem (e.g., obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depressed mood, anxiety, oppositional/disruptive behavior, hyperactivity, inattentiveness).

    Measured: The fifth week and the tenth week of treatment and three month after treatment end

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing comprehensive behavioral intervention therapy (CBIT) and Aripiprazole 5Mg Oral Tablet in people with Tic Disorders, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction rate of Tic symptom severity before and after intervention (time frame: Baseline, the tenth week of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Feb 2021.
