Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study utilizes a randomized control study design. According to the situated learning theory and qualitative research findings, this study develops a board game. This study enrolled adolescents with Tourette syndrome aged 12 to 18 as the subjects. Participants played board games at home at least once (about 60 minutes) a week for four consecutive weeks. The control group received the usual standard of care (psychoeducation regarding Tourette Syndrome and one 50-mg tablet of pyridoxine daily). The effectiveness indicators include self-reported status of positive mental health, tics severity, social adjustment, and depression by adolescents with TS.
