• Ecopipam Treatment of Tourette's Syndrome in Subjects 7-17 Years

  Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

  Tourette's Syndrome is a neurological disease characterized by motor and vocal tics. It has been hypothesized that abnormal interactions of dopamine with its receptors may cause the tics. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that a drug (ecopipam) that selectively blocks dopamine D1/D5 receptors can reduce the frequency and severity of the tics.
