Magnesium Tourette Syndrome and Tics
I often have questions about magnesium for tics and Tourette’s syndrome.
One open label study showed benefit using IV magnesium with B6. It appears that a double blind placebo controlled trial was planned but results have not been published.
One must keep in mind that the potential side-effects of high doses of magnesium are probably unsafe and that magnesium itself can have side effects.
So, is the Research promising? Yes.
Do I recommend IV magnesium for tics? Normally, no. There are too many risks.
Screen for magnesium or zinc deficiency in at-risk children? I think so.
