This chapter explores evidence for the effectiveness of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for tic disorders and explores what the future may hold for these approaches. NIBS can be achieved through several means, including electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves and transcranial cortical stimulation using electrical or magnetic stimulation. Each of these techniques will be discussed with a focus on current evidence of effectiveness in treating tics, benefits, limitations, and current unknowns.
