Abstract
Tourette syndrome is a common neuropsychiatric disorder that affects the physical and mental health of children. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment are crucial to prevent serious impacts on the affected children, their families, and society. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend towards using a combination of methods in the clinical treatment of children with Tourette syndrome. This approach has achieved remarkable results, leading to a reduction in the rate of Tourette syndrome symptoms in children. In recent years, a combination of clinical methods has been used to treat children with Tourette syndrome, resulting in significant improvement in control rates. This article reviews the etiology of infantile Tourette syndrome and the progress made in Chinese and Western medicine treatments, providing a reference for further treatment of the condition.
