Ultimately, there has been limited study on the link between traumatic brain injury and tic expression, and methodological issues preclude the ability to draw definitive conclusions regarding this relationship. Nevertheless, findings do suggest there may be heterogeneity in brain dysfunction associated with tic expression. Future case reports should utilize more systematic and thorough assessment of TBI and tics using validated measures, evaluate medication effects using single-case designs, and perform more longitudinal follow-up of cases with repeated neuroimaging.
