Premonitory urges are uncomfortable bodily sensations preceding tics. They are highly prevalent, frequently bothersome, and increasingly recognized as a central phenotypic feature in tic disorder populations. This scoping review aimed to systematically consolidate published knowledge and identify knowledge gaps regarding premonitory urges in primary tic disorders.

Methods

Search strategies were deployed in five databases and five topic-relevant journals. Two independent reviewers screened all candidate abstracts against predefined inclusion criteria. One hundred and fifty-five articles were included in the scoping review. The same two reviewers independently extracted and consolidated pertinent data from included articles.
