Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Changes in Tic Severity
12 weeks

Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) (Total Tic Score) The YGTSS tool gives ratings in 5 domains: Total Motor Tic Score, Total Verbal Tic Score, Total Tic Score (Motor + Verbal), Overall Impairment Rating, and Global Severity Score. When calculating the Global Severity score, it is found by adding together the total motor, verbal and impairment scores. The Total Tic Severity Score has a range of 0-50, and the Global Severity Score has a range of 0- 100. A higher score on all scales suggests a more severe Tic, or a greater impact the Tic has on the person's life.

Dronabinol and PalmitoylethanolamideEXPERIMENTALAll participants will be titrated up on Dronabinol dose during the first week of the trial (2.5mg Dronabinol for 3 days and then 5mg Dronabinol for 4 days increasing to 10mg Dronabinol for the remainder of the trial). Dronabinol will only be increased to 10mg at the week 1 assessment if the subject is tolerating the 5mg dose of Dronabinol and the Dronabinol may be reduced based on patient side-effects. All participants will receive two 400mg tablets of PEA daily for the same 12 weeks that they receive the Dronabinol.
