Purpose of Project
<\/strong>Drug treatments for conditions like Tourette Syndrome and ADHD can be effective in some cases, but they typically involve strong side effects and poor long-term prognostic.\u00a0 Scientists at McGill University who specialize in the study of attention are developing a novel brain-training method that has been shown to reduce pain and the symptoms of different involuntary behaviour conditions. This exploratory procedure is safe, effortless, non-invasive, and drug-free. It\u00a0draws on research examining the brain mechanisms involved in healing, hypnosis, mindfulness, and a positive mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The popular science Mind Field TV series will be involved in the first phase of this project, and participating families must agree to be filmed and appear in a documentary.

Who Can Participate?<\/strong>
We are looking for children and youths who:
1. \u00a0have been diagnosed with Tourette or ADHD
2.\u00a0are between the ages of 7 and 12 years
3. are seeking alternatives to medication
4. live in the greater Montreal, QC area<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is involved?<\/strong>
Study participation involves\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. An initial phone interview with our research team to determine eligibility and brief parents on the procedure<\/li>
  2. Bringing your child to our lab at McGill University in Montreal two to three times, two weeks to one month apart.  You will be reimbursed for travel and parking expenses.<\/li>
  3. Session 1: Your child will undergo a medical interview to help us tailor the program to your child\u2019s needs, followed by a suggestion procedure involving neuroscience technology<\/li>
  4.  Session 2: Your child will receive a free smartwatch programmed to send them reminders of their progress<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You will be told the results from your child\u2019s participation in our study 4 to 6 weeks after your 2nd session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
