Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Baseline Sensory Perception Quotient score, short form
Time Frame: Initial assessment at enrollment (time zero)
|
Validated instrument assessing anomalous sensory experiences. Scale consists of 35 items screening patients for hyper- or hypo-sensitivity to each of the sensory domains (touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste). Each scale item is a statement to which participants provide a ranking: 0 = strongly agree

Change in Premonitory Urge to Tic Scale score at 2 years
Time Frame: 2 years
|
Validated instrument assessing type and extent of premonitory sensations.
The scale consists of 9 scored items and 1 non-scored item, all assessing degree of abnormal sensations and urges preceding a tic.
The scored scale items are ranked 1-4, with 4 being the most abnormal.
The minimum score on the scale is 9; the maximum score is 36.
Higher scores indicate more frequent and severe premonitory urges.

Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-2 (MAIA-2) at baseline
Time Frame: Initial assessment at enrollment (time zero)
|
Validated self-report questionnaire assessing interoceptive sensibility, comprised of 37 items.
Each scale item is a statement to which respondents must select "never" (0) to "always" (5) on a six-point Likert scale.
No total MAIA-2 score exists.
Rather, individual scale items belong to one of eight MAIA-2 subscales.
For each subscale, higher score signifies more of that construct.

Body Perception Questionnaire - Short Form (BPQ-SF) at baseline
Time Frame: Initial assessment at enrollment (time zero)
|
Validated self-report questionnaire assessing interoceptive sensibility, comprised of 46 items total, divided into 3 sections: Body Awareness (raw total score 26-130), Supradiaphragmatic Reactivity (raw total score 15-69), and Subdiaphragmatic Reactivity (raw total score 6-28).
Raw scores are converted to T-scores.
Higher raw and T-scores indicate greater maladaptive body awareness.
