Assertiveness and emotion-management difficulties in adults with Tourette syndrome

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome will complete a battery of electronic questionnaires including the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, measures of tic severity, quality of life, self-esteem, and screening for depression and anxiety. The primary aim is to quantify the proportion of participants who meet predefined criteria for assertiveness difficulties and to explore associations with tic severity and comorbid symptoms. Individuals under legal protection or unable to complete questionnaires independently are excluded. Recruitment is based at CHU Clermont-Ferrand and responses will be analyzed to describe prevalence and correlates of assertiveness and emotion-management problems in this population.
