As the first centre in the Czech Republic we can offer our clients the CBIT treatment method
The main treatment for more severe tics has so far been symptomatic pharmacotherapy. This paradigm has undergone a major shift in recent years and the first choice method for treating tics has become the non-pharmacological method of CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics).
CBIT is at least as effective as drug therapy but without the risk of adverse side effects.
