Tourette Syndrome breakthrough as study finds electrical pulse bracelet reduces tics

The bracelet delivers electrical impulses, with the study finding that it reduced the severity and frequency of tics by 25% amongst 121 respondents

A bracelet that delivers electrical pulses can significantly reduce both the severity and frequency of tics for people with Tourette Syndrome, a new study has found.

The University of Nottingham study saw 121 people across the UK trial the bracelet, including musician Lewis Capaldi.

The device – called Neupulse – stimulates a motor nerve in the arm with rhythmic electrical pulses. These pulses trigger brain oscillations connected to the suppression of movement.
