OBJECTIVE: To determine whether typical clinical doses of methylphenidate (MPH) cause tics or exacerbate preexisting mild to moderate tics.
METHOD: Ninety-one children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, with and without comorbid tics (excluding severe tics and Tourette's syndrome), were randomly assigned to receive MPH or a placebo in a 1-year prospective study. The target dose was titrated to balance behavior change and side effects. Parents and teachers were the observers.
RESULTS: Crossover from the placebo to MPH was common because of poor behavioral response. One MPH-treated subject dropped out; the final MPH group had 72 subjects; the placebo group, 18. The average dose of MPH was 0.5 mg/kg twice daily. Clinically significant tics developed in 19.6% of the subjects without preexisting tics receiving MPH and in 16.7% of those receiving the placebo (Fisher exact test, p = .59, not significant; relative risk = 1.17, confidence interval = 0.31-4.40). Deterioration of tics was observed in 33% of subjects with preexisting tics receiving MPH and in 33% of those receiving the placebo (Fisher exact test, p = .70, not significant; relative risk = 1.0, confidence interval = 0.40-1.85).
CONCLUSIONS: Doses of MPH based on the typical clinical titration procedure did not produce significantly more tics than the placebo in children with or without preexisting (mild to moderate) tics.
