CHILDREN WITH TOURETTE SYNDROME OR CHRONIC TICS AS WELL AS ADHD SOUGHT FOR EMORY STUDY


Neurology researchers at the Emory University School of Medicine are seeking children between the ages 7-17 years who have chronic tics or Tourette syndrome AND attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The children are needed to participate in a multicenter clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health to study the treatment of ADHD in Tourette syndrome.

The study requires participation from each child's family and school. Study medications and treatments are provided free of charge.

The study takes place during the regular school semester and consists of five visits over 16 weeks. Accordingly, recruitment is now beginning for the fall semester.

Visits take place at the Wesley Woods Health Center, located near the Emory campus at 1841 Clifton Rd., N.E., Atlanta.

For information call the investigator, Dr. J L. Juncos, at 404/ 728-4952.
