An adequate rating scale for the measurement of tic severity must account for the multiple motor and phonic tics that increase and decrease over time. Available rating scales for Tourette syndrome have used historical information, direct observation, or both. Videotapes provide an objective means to quantify tics over time in a controlled environment. Videotapes also can be viewed multiple times for careful review of tic frequency and distribution. A unified rating scale, which integrates all elements of tic assessment is being developed, but is not currently available.
用于测量抽动严重程度的适当评分量表必须考虑到随着时间推移而增减的多种运动性和发声性抽动。现有的妥瑞氏综合征评分量表使用的是历史信息、直接观察或两者兼用。录像带提供了一种在可控环境中随时间量化抽动的客观方法。录像带也可以多次观看，以便仔细审查抽动的频率和分布情况。一种整合了抽动评估所有要素的统一评分量表正在开发中，但目前尚未可用。
