Abstract:
Mindfulness-based interventions have demonstrated efficacy for a wide range of clinical concerns and populations. Mindfulness-based Intervention for Tics (MBIT) is a recently developed brief, online group intervention for adults with tics. Preliminary evidence suggests that MBIT is feasible, acceptable, and safe. Symptomatic improvements compare favorably with those associated with Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics, the first-line behavioral treatment for tics. Additional research is necessary to confirm these findings, identify mediators and moderators, directly compare MBIT to existing treatments, and expand the intervention to children and adolescents.
