Tics: History and physical examination
(Handbook of Signs & Symptoms (Third Edition))

Begin by asking the parents how long the child has had the tic. How often does the child have the tic? Can they identify any precipitating or exacerbating factors? Can the patient control the tics with conscious effort? Ask about stress in the child’s life such as difficult school work. Next, carefully observe the tic. Is it a purposeful or involuntary movement? Note whether it’s localized or generalized, and describe it in detail.
