Objective The literature on Chinese medicine treatment of childhood tic disorders published in the past 10 years was collated and studied,and reviewed in terms of Chinese medicine etiology and pathogenesis,diag-nosis and treatment,treatment principles and methods,Chinese medicine treatment,and external Chinese medicine treatment methods.It is believed that the efficacy of Chinese medicine in treating this disease is accurate,with fewer adverse effects,but lacks strong evidence-based medical evidence.In the future,multi-centre,randomized,con-trolled,double-blind,large-sample clinical studies should be carried out,and scientific and standardized research methods should be used to provide more objective and effective treatments for the clinic.
