Video 1. The patient is able to control the leftward turning of his neck when his baseball cap is on. &SetFont Typeface="12";Other tics such as blinking and left arm movements continue. When the cap is removed, the tics, and the sensory urge to perform them, begin almost immediately. The patient can achieve the same tic relief when he puts his hand along the side of his mouth and when he rests his head on the back of the chair. A bandana also aborts the tics, and they re-emerge as soon as the bandana is removed.
