SH is relatively common in several developmental disorders including Tourette Syndrome and Chronic Tic Disorder (TS\/CTD). This study was an attempt to quantify the extent to which a mild tactile stimulus distracts one\u2019s attention in TS\/CTD. Fourteen adults with TS\/CTD and 14 tic-free control subjects completed questionnaires regarding SH and ADHD, and TS\/CTD subjects completed self-report measures of current and past tic disorder symptoms and of current obsessions and compulsions. All subjects performed a sustained attention choice reaction time task during alternating blocks in which a mildly annoying stimulus (von Frey hair) was applied to the ankle (\u201cON\u201d) or was not applied (\u201cOFF\u201d). We present here the clinical and cognitive task data for each subject.<\/ns4:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.4944.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,12]],"date-time":"2014-08-12T09:00:13Z","timestamp":1407834013000},"page":"188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A revised method for measuring distraction by tactile stimulation"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Jacqueline R.","family":"Schechter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deanna J.","family":"Greene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1409-5608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan M.","family":"Koller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6921-9567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin J.","family":"Black","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1","article-title":"Attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder: A handbook for diagnosis and treatment","author":"R Barkley","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2538-2543","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.23977","article-title":"Sensory sensitivity to external stimuli in Tourette syndrome patients.","volume":"26","author":"B Belluscio","year":"2011","journal-title":"Mov Disord."},{"key":"ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"377-381","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbi.2008.08.010","article-title":"Research electronic data capture (REDCap)\u2014a metadata-driven methodology and workflow process for providing translational research informatics support.","volume":"42","author":"P Harris","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Biomed Inform."},{"key":"ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1006-1011","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1989.01810110048007","article-title":"The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.
