The Effectiveness of Body Psychotherapy on the Amplitude of all Brain Waves of a Child with Tic Disorder: a Case Report

People with a tic cannot stop their body from doing so. For example, a person with a motor tic might keep blinking over and over again. Recording of neuronal activity from multiple brain regions performed, this model during the expression of motor tics showed thattics are associated with phasic changes of neuronal activity throughout the Cortico Basal Ganglia pathway culminating in the disinhibition of the cortex and release of a tic. The similarity of obsessive-compulsive disorder with tick disorder has led to the suggestion that in bothof the excessive disorder and the intensity of the waves in the Medial orbital frontal cortex and Basal ganglia are more than normal people. The purpose of this research is to determine whether Body psychotherapy (BP) can affect the reduction amplitude of the all brain waves. Thisresearch was conducted on a 10-year-old boy Which was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with motor tic disorder. brain waves were recorded in the different brain areas before the beginning of Body psychotherapy (BP) sessions by the neurofeedback. This session was held for 50 sessions 3 days a week and each session for an hour and thirty minutes. After completing this sessions, were recorded again from the same brain area and it was observed that significant decrease in the amplitude of all brain waves was created and also at the end of the sessions, there was no motor tic in the child. Further research is needed for study the effectiveness of Body psychotherapy (BP) for Tic disorder.
