Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a parent training program to control disruptive behaviors in children with Tourette Syndrome. In addition, social cognition will be examined in all the participants to analyze its relationship with the severity of disruptive behavior and the treatment response.
42 children with Tourette Syndrome and moderate disruptive behaviors will be randomly assigned to a 10-week Parent Training Program or a 10-week Supportive Therapy. Clinical response will be evaluated after the intervention period, and three and six months later.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Parent training (PT)
The PT arm receives a 10-week therapist-guided behavioral group treatment. The treatment is based on existing literature for training parents in child behavior management skills (Barkley 1999). Parents attend weekly sessions, which last 90 minutes and are held at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. Parents are given homework assignments to complete between sessions.
Parent Training
Supportive Therapy (ST)
The ST arm receives a 10-week supportive group treatment. Parents are invited to discuss relevant problems that have occurred during the previous week. A therapist moderate the discussion but does not provide information about the behavioral techniques included in the PT group. Parents attend weekly sessions, which last 90 minutes and are held at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. Parents are given homework assignments to complete between sessions.
