About
Dr. Tamara Pringsheim is a leading clinical researcher in pediatric movement disorders, with a primary focus on Tourette syndrome and tic disorders. Her work bridges neurology and psychiatry to understand the neurophysiological underpinnings of tics and to develop innovative, non-invasive treatments. A major contribution is her pioneering investigation of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the supplementary motor area in children with Tourette syndrome, demonstrating both feasibility and potential for reducing tic severity—a study that has garnered 50 citations. She also advances the understanding of inhibitory control deficits in children with tic disorders, using sophisticated behavioral tasks like the Object-Hit-and-Avoid paradigm to reveal subtle impairments in motor response inhibition. Her research has significant clinical impact, informing new therapeutic approaches for a condition affecting millions of children worldwide. Dr. Pringsheim’s work is essential reading for anyone studying the intersection of neurostimulation, cognitive control, and pediatric movement disorders.
