By contrast, although all participants stated that the effects of MNS were to reduce their perceived urge-to-tic and that quantitative analysis of the continuous self-estimated urge-to-tic data showed an overall reduction in the self-estimated urge-to-tic during MNS of ∼33%, the difference between rhythmic MNS and no stimulation was only marginally significant (means for self-estimated tic-to-tic intensity: no stimulation = 41.3 ± 31.7, rhythmic MNS = 29.1 ± 20.7; t(15) = 1.83, p = 0.09, Figure 5 right).
