7 Things to Help Reduce Tics!
17Posted on by Caleb Davidson
Editor’s note: We welcome blogger AndreaF back to TSParentsOnline with a follow-up to her popular post from a few years ago. What are your experiences with these methods to reduce tics? We’d love to hear from you.
Before my book came out I was blogging pretty regularly for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome. One of the posts that garnered 61 comments was on Five Things that Can Help With Tics.
A few years later, and with more research, I have decided to update the list a bit for new parents who keep writing me with the same question.
Question: How do I fix the tics?
Answer: There is no one-size-fits all answer. Every child is different.
What Can You Do If You’re Freaking Out About Tics?
I’m no doctor, but after 10 years at this I can passionately state that all kids tic for a variety of reasons. I, personally, didn’t feel medication was the answer right off the bat for my son. It still isn’t. If it got severe enough, of course I would consider it, but so far it has not.
Here’s what I tell all parents who write me with concerns over their ticking kids. I tell them to ask a few important questions – the same ones I asked myself.
Questions to Ask if Your Child is Ticking
- Could there be vitamin deficiencies happening?
- What kind of environmental stressors could be worked on? (Less tension at home, less electronics?, etc.)
- How much sleep is your child getting?
- What kind of exercise is your child getting?
- What does your child’s diet consist of?
It’s Up To You!
None of these questions are meant to either shame or suggest there are simple answers for complicated tic issues. Again, each child is different. My suggestion is to go to a naturopath and have your child evaluated for his/her individual condition. If you are low on funds (which I was) you can start with the basics and see if this helps. It helped in our case and I hope it helps in yours!
5 Things to Help With Tics
- Magnesium: I gave my son 500 mg of magnesium a day, and it really helped with his eye rolls and vocals. For some little kids this might be too much, but I’ve been told the worst thing excess magnesium can do is cause diarrhea. Now my son takes a calcium/magnesium supplement as the magnesium is best absorbed with calcium. The ratio is double the calcium to the magnesium.
- Gluten Free: It was a pain, but it helped, and continues to help enormously. He can concentrate more and can fall asleep quickly. When he was not gluten free, it would take hours for him to settle down. He is still a high energy kid, but much less so now.
- Dairy Free: Ditto the gluten. It was a pain, but we’ve found many ways to supplement his calcium through rice milk, vegetables and fruit.
- Sleep: 10 hours of sleep a night is crucial and a huge tic reducer.
- No artificial flavors or preservatives: My son is very sensitive to chemicals. They can set tics off like bees around a honey pot. Not worth the sting of excess tics except on special occasions.
2 Other Supplements * Talk to you Naturopath first *
6. NAC – Standing for N-Acetylcysteine, this is an amino acid that can be purchased at any vitamin store. This natural supplement acts as an antioxidant and glutamate modulating agent.
According to this webinar, featuring Dr. Mark Mintz, “They (a study) found the N-acetyl cysteine decreased symptoms of trichotillomania (hair pulling) compared to placebo. It makes theoretical sense as NAC can modulate dopamine. So, there are reports that NAC can improve mood disorders as well (such as obsessive compulsive disorder). There needs to be more research and reports to have a better handle on the effects of NAC in Tourette, but it appears to show some promise.”
7. Taurine – I talk about Taurine here. My son is currently on 500 MG but I think he could use 1000. That said, I will talk to my naturopath first!
What have been your experiences with tics? Did any of you find it made a difference for your children? What about in some of your cases where tics were more severe? Would love to hear!
Until next time, may God grant you the serenity to accept the tics you cannot change, the courage to change the tics you can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

A nervous tic is, in fact, an involuntary contraction of muscles in the face of a stereotyped appearance, less often a muscle of the neck. This deviation is expressed in twitching in small attacks. Everyone has experienced uncontrollable muscle twitching at least once in their life. Such a stereotypical reduction of the eyelid occurs in case of severe mental or emotional overload.
Nervous tics of the eye or twitching of the mimic muscles are more common than others. In childhood, the risk group for the appearance of a nervous tic mainly includes boys. In this case, drug treatment is not required for either children or adults. However, in the case of the transition of a tick to the stage of a permanent phenomenon, it is necessary to begin treatment.
Causes
The main cause of nervous tics is a malfunction of the nervous system. Dysfunction involves sending inadequate impulses from the brain to the muscles, resulting in an uncontrolled, rapid contraction. At the same time, a person is not able to stop such a twitching by a strong-willed decision.
Nervous tics are classified according to their causes:
- primary or psychogenic, also known as idiopathic,
- secondary or symptomatic,
- genetic or hereditary - damage to the structure of the cells of the nervous system.
Children's causes of the development of primary nervous tic of the eye:
Primary causes of eye twitching in adults:
- constant stress and overexertion;
- mobility of the nervous system;
- chronic fatigue syndrome.
At the same time, this type of tic disappears on its own if the root cause is excluded.
Causes of a nervous tic of a secondary nature:
- infection of the brain;
- carbon monoxide poisoning;
- taking pharmaceuticals - psychotropic or anticonvulsant;
- violation of the blood circulation of the brain - stroke or atherosclerosis;
- renal or hepatic insufficiency;
- mental disorders - autism or schizophrenia and others;
- trigeminal neuralgia;
- birth injuries;
- formation of tumors in the brain;
- the presence of VVD.
In childhood, the habit of making monotonous muscle movements is of great importance to alleviate the state of a particular disease. Subsequently, they begin to repeat themselves spontaneously.
Genetic Tourette's disease causes nervous tics mainly in children, against the background of the following factors:
- autoimmune disorders;
- stresses;
- bad ecology;
- infection with bacteria, such as streptococci and staphylococci;
- lack of magnesium and pyridoxine.
Symptoms
The most important symptom of a nervous tic of the eye is considered to be voluntary uncontrolled contraction of the muscles. Moreover, the more efforts a person makes to stop an attack of contractions, the stronger and more often the twitching begins. It is worth noting that there are a number of strong personalities that can delay the onset of an attack of twitching and weaken the degree of muscle contraction.
Most often, symptoms appear after serious physical or mental stress against the background of overwork or deep conflict, as well as after psycho-emotional trauma.
External signs of muscle contraction are always visible to surrounding people and are localized in the zone of formation of a nervous tic:
- facial - twitching of the eye, eyelids, twitching of the eyebrow or nose, frequent blinking, self-opening of the mouth or movement of the lips;
- head or neck - mechanical head turns or impulsive nodding;
- voice - pronunciation of an unrelated set of words, syllables, sounds or grunts, howling and barking cough;
- body - reflex movement of the abdominals, diaphragm, trembling of the muscles of the pelvis or buttocks;
- limbs - uncontrollable clapping of hands or stomping and bouncing of feet;
- vocal - smacking, foul language, shouting at emotions and coughing.
In general, all nervous tics are noticed by others, while the patient himself rarely focuses on them. The development of the process of strengthening the manner of tic takes place over a rather long period of time.
The hallmark of any tic is the lack of control by the patient himself. Symptoms come out at the moment of strong excitement or extreme fatigue. Very rarely, these states occur against the background of relaxation.
Nerve contractions do not affect the performance and functioning of the nervous system and mental abilities of the patient. They are more likely to accompany mental and emotional disorders.
The initial stage of a nervous tic is an increase in tension, which a person consciously wants to release. Then comes the moment of muscle contractions, which is accompanied by relief or a feeling similar to itching.
Complicated twitches are outwardly similar to convulsions and are extremely rare.
When a doctor's appointment is needed
In the case when attacks of a nervous tic become more frequent or cause discomfort, ranging from the ridicule of others to the internal states of the body, a person needs the help of a specialist. As a rule, these areas are diagnosed by neurologists or psychologists and psychotherapists.
Diagnosis
As part of the diagnosis, a distinction is made between nervous tics and motor acts of a pathological status, such as chorea, dystonia, and others. At the same time, differential diagnosis along the way finds out the cause of the development of tic muscle contractions, which allows you to build an effective treatment regimen.
Diagnosis of tics practically does not use laboratory tests, except in a number of rare clinical diseases of a hereditary type. In this case, CT and MRI, EEG, blood tests for genetic mutations and hormone levels can be performed. Urine and blood tests can show drug intoxication, as well as kidney and liver failure.
To collect anamnesis, neurologists conduct a thorough survey, during which they identify:
- the time and circumstances of the attack;
- attack duration;
- presence of chronic diseases;
- the ability to control the onset of an attack;
- presence of tics in other family members.
Next, there is an assessment of the adequacy of the functioning of motor and sensory activity, the degree of muscle tone and the intensity of reflexes.
Imaging may include an ionogram for electrolytes in the blood, a complete blood count for inflammation and infection, and stool for helminths.
Treatment
Treatment is based on eliminating the root cause of the tic by minimizing exposure to the irritant. Sometimes you just need to give your body enough rest.
There are special exercises for stopping an attack of a nervous tic:
- relaxation with eyes closed for 15 minutes;
- cotton pads moistened with warm water should be applied to the eyelids;
- open your eyes wide, and then close them for a couple of seconds;
- slight pressure on the middle of the superciliary arch of the twitching eye;
- intensive 15-second blinking and relaxation with closed eyes for two minutes.
Medicines are used from the group of relaxing drugs in the primary form, the secondary form is anti-anxiety drugs. Medicines are used in conjunction with herbal teas based on mint and lemon balm.
Prophylaxis
Prophylaxis for the appearance of a nervous tic includes:
- healthy lifestyle;
- proper and balanced nutrition;
- stop smoking, alcohol and drugs;
- rational compilation of daily routines - rest, sleep and work.

Nervous tic in a child. Canada.
- Forum
- Archive
- Foreign mothers
Moderators, please do not transfer to "children's health", it is important for me how they treat and where to go abroad.
A child (10 years old) began to have nervous tics. Rather, for the first time I noticed them at the age of 5, he repeated the obsessive movement of his head. But then it went by very quickly. Six months ago, I noticed somewhere that one of the child's eyes was twitching. By the time I made an appointment to the eye and the family, it seemed to have stopped. And now for 2 weeks I noticed that my son makes a strange movement with his head, shoulder, and all this is constant. Made an appointment to the family. Until they make an appointment to the neurog, on which I will insist, more time will pass. At the same time, I scoured the Internet. I realized that this is a fairly common problem in children. But ... I was horrified that it was being treated with antidepressants and strong sedatives. And they have more side effects than benefits.
Maybe someone faced this problem in their family? Would you like to share some of your recommendations and experiences? I read that homeopathy seems to help, and it is advised to reduce to an osteopath. Maybe some other herbs to drink? I am ready to lead anywhere, as long as it helps, the movements are noticeable and, apparently, they will not leave on their own. Of course, it’s not a problem for me to get into the Internet and find doctors. But I want to not just throw money away, but to have a result. Can anyone advise really proven doctors (osteopath, homeopath) in Toronto or methods of treatment?
Well, there was no such problem and I didn't have to treat it, but for a long time I was afraid to sleep without light, I was left with a night light or even with the light on. It is of great importance - what provokes such a reaction? Of course, some children are simply more sensitive than others and react to the most inconspicuous little things, nevertheless, one must try to find out and eradicate evil at the root. Perhaps problems at school, problems with other children. If the child knows that everything is in order from now on, then he will calm down.
Plus sports and fresh air to strengthen. If the treatment is purely symptomatic, then the disease will simply be driven inside.
My child has skin problems that are best treated with homeopathy. But you should have seen these homeopaths and naturopaths, I have no censorship words left! Firstly, everyone wants a diagnosis for a couple of hundred first. Then "to the heap" they write out something to raise immunity or something like that. And they assure that this is just what your child needs at the moment. I still have all sorts of creams for 30-50 dollars. sucked every time. The average check was astronomical, despite the fact that in fact it helped sporadically, but it helped. Then a family from all this garbage told me the main active drug that works specifically with the skin. It costs 7 dollars. in a drug mart, and if it doesn't work well, it's because the great homeopathic naturopaths couldn't calculate the dose correctly. Family can not recommend, sorry. In the past, he was also involved in homeopathy, but the College of Physicians stuck to him that he had to choose, either a normal doctor, or alternative medicine, he remained a family. Right now I need to change the dose and maybe add another drug, he says, sorry, look for a practicing homeopath. And I feel bad, as I imagine once again a trip to homeo ...
Sorry, just a cry from the heart. I wish you all the best, your son will recover soon.
My child is, of course, very kind, worried about everything. There seems to be no problems at school, he is very sociable, he has many friends. I try to create a calm environment, not scold him. Don't know what causes these tics
Thank you for your reply. I don't really believe in homeopathy myself. But you have to try. But what if? What matters is not the amount of money spent, but the result. Although I don't want to pay too much. And you don't want to go to a mediocre doctor either. Let's look for
Try to talk to him more often about things at school - what happens during breaks, what games are played, with whom, who wins, who loses, how exactly they played today, better or worse. What in the lessons, too, ask, be interested. It might pop up somewhere.
I advise you to contact a Chinese specialist. I have a good doctor in Toronto. He heals with herbs and acupuncture (I think this will help in this situation).
We just waited, did nothing, tried not to notice, but this was on condition that nothing bad happened at home and at school.
I also had tics in childhood, they also went away on their own, as far as I remember.
I will support the idea of looking for a Chinese. And ask for an appointment with a good family neurologist. Nootropics in reasonable doses also help well and do not give relapses.
I had frequent blinking and head twitching in my childhood. It was in the 80s. They prescribed Vit B and aloe, electrophoresis and acupuncture (I did not agree to this, although my mother begged me very much) I don’t know if the treatment helped or just outgrew it, but everything went away.
Nervous tics are not considered to require treatment. It is necessary to eliminate the causes that cause them, to normalize the situation in the family, to go in for sports.
You need to make sure it's really a tic and not a more serious neurological problem. That's what's important.
We swam, we know.
It is treated with kindness and attention. Take a look around. Are there frequent quarrels in the family? What happens to the child at school? Does he have friends? His relationship with teachers? Does your child need your attention? How often do you go on vacation with your family? How often do you caress the child, praise, soothe when he is worried or nervous?
We were at the doctor's...
No doctors, medicines, massages and homeopathy will help. Change the atmosphere around your child.
And there is no guarantee of complete elimination of tics. We were so happy that everything worked out for us, and two years later we were back to where we started. Now everything seems to be quiet, but I still constantly look at the child. As soon as I noticed the first symptoms, I unobtrusively intrude into his personal life.
Try Magne B6 + calcium first, it should be easier already. If you have light homeopathic sedatives in pharmacies, try to buy them. I don’t know if there are Bach Drops in Canada, there are in Europe, maybe you have them or analogues. So that they don’t write about the situation in the family and so on, nervous tics are not treated simply by “increasing attention to the child”, my child, if he is not given Magne B6 for preventive purposes, plus a light homeopathic sedative, will constantly roar at school, whine for any reason. Features of the nervous system, you can not play a computer and so on, the TV is also strictly dosed. How are your electronic devices excluded? They, too, can provoke nervous tics.
Thank you very much for such a detailed answer and recommendations!! I don’t know if there are drops in Canada, but I found on the Internet what they look like, and now I at least know what to look for in a pharmacy. I bought magnesium and calcium. I did not find Magne B6 specifically. Maybe I'll look for vitamin B6 separately.
Yes, our computer is a disaster. We try to limit, but the child is very advanced in them. At the age of 10, he writes decent programs in Java. And after school, we have some time on our own, so our attempts to password-protect computers fail. It bypasses all defenses. We have already promised him that the next step will be a house free from computers, if the situation does not change. WHEN we are at home, access to a computer is, of course, strictly metered. TV is rarely watched.
We are waiting for an appointment to a neurologist. We haven't even made it yet. How long it is here
Sorry, it was not possible to visit Eva earlier.
Could you share the doctor's details??? Thanks in advance!
Nothing wrong at home or at school.
I really hope that it will go away on its own. But I also don't want to let it go. I have a memory from childhood: an adult uncle walked along our street all the time, apparently to and from work. So he had a terrible head twitching. It was so scary! But this seems to be some kind of neglected case
Hooray, I found a site with Bach drops in the States! They also ship to Canada. Do you buy special baby drops?
Vitamin B6 also be sure to buy, just so that in the end there is Magnesium + B6 + calcium, this is important for better absorption, nervousness will pass right before our eyes, it has been repeatedly tested.
As for the computer, everything is clear, the child wants, etc. But, you are a mother and you must take measures to preserve the health of your child. My eldest son, if he plays computer, PSP, then everything will start roaring, tears, tantrums for any reason, and even pills will not help. Labile too excitable nervous system. So think through your options, perhaps accessing the computer only after an hour of football, or after 105 push-ups, or after running around the house for an hour, and a time limit. Comp can provoke a lot, and nervous tics unfortunately tend to come back. Our comrade began to cough nervously, sniffle, twitch slightly. Local doctors (in Europe) are not inclined to treat anything at all, in my opinion, they don’t care about adaptation to school or kindergarten, neither twitching, nor enuresis starting on a nervous basis, nothing, as a result, the pediatrician advised us what to drink, there was no sense from the neurologist , so you won’t find much on a visit to a neurologist, maybe your doctor won’t see a problem. Read the info yourself on the Internet about nervous tics, the occurrence and treatment. And get ready for the fact that you may have to remove the computer altogether. If mine is given uncontrolled access, he is 9years, he will not eat, sleep, drink, go to the toilet, just to play.
It seems to me they are the only ones, just Bach Drops, I don’t remember anymore, we have already switched to Sedatif PS for a year, because they were recommended by our pediatrician, a very intelligent aunt, she prescribed courses for us 4 times a year, and it’s easier for me to put a pill in my mouth than to drink drops, well, he does not like. But this is in Europe, I don’t know if you have Sedatif PC, homeopathic ones, in Russia they also have it, they seem to be called Homeospoc.
Drops "Notta", Austria makes, maybe you will find them, also Valerianahel, also Austria. Give magnesium B6 both separately and together with them, in general, nervous children need to drink magne B6 several times a year in courses. I have two nervous ones, one is normal, I work for a pharmacy
You don't know what you're talking about. Whining at school for any reason is not a nervous tic. Your approach is akin to how mothers give diphenhydramine to babies so that they sleep longer and do not scream. Of course, it's easier to get rid of the child by throwing a pill into his mouth, pour it with syrup. Why look for the cause of discomfort?
If the author decides to do such a stupid thing as asking about treatment on the Internet, there is only one piece of advice for her - to take the child in an armful and to the doctor.
