    Current Approaches and New Developments in the Pharmacological Management of Tourette Syndrome.

    As an expert in the treatment of Tourette Syndrome (TS), recently, Dr. Coffman was asked to author an article on the pharmacological treatment of Tourette Syndrome. In collaboration with Dr. Quezada, the paper was published in CNS Drugs Journal, focusing on current approaches and new developments regarding treatment of Tourette Syndrome. The team developed a visual algorithm to help guide the treatment of TS using medication based on the level-of-evidence and side-effects. It has been designed for others to use both inside the U.S. and globally.
