Tic disorder is a common neuropsychiatric disorder in children, which affect the development of children's physical and mental health to a certain extent. However, there are still multiple challenges such as difficult diagnosis of tic disorder, complex disease conditions, and difficult therapeutic regimens. With the progress of disease diagnosis and treatment, the limitations of Western Medicine for the treatment of tic disorder in children are becoming more and more prominent, such as more adverse reactions, common relapse after drug dose reduction, monotonous therapeutic regimens, and long disease course of treatment, etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment of tic disorder in children shows a broad prospect of application with its diversified therapeutic regimens, multi⁃angle syndrome differentiation and treatment, and relatively mature treatment principles, methods, prescriptions, and drugs. This paper summarizes the research progress on Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in children with tic disorder in recent years, and reviews on the existing problems and future research directions, so as to further guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tic disorder.
