"It's like getting part of your life back." A wrist device developed by researchers at the University of Nottingham can substantially reduce tics in people living with Tourette's syndrome, trials have found. Olly, 15, who has Functional Neurological Disorder, said the product had been "life-changing". In 2023, a clinical trial of 121 people in the UK found they experienced, on average, a reduction in tic frequency of 25% while using a prototype of the device. That year, it was also tested by singer Lewis Capaldi, who has Tourette's, prior to a gig in the city. Now, the university says "thousands" of the Neupulse devices have been sold.
