The "Collaborative Problem Solving" model was developed by Greene for the treatment of youth with oppositional behavior, and is now called Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS). The aim of CPS is to help caregivers and children practice and learn problem solving strategies in collaboration. The
This multi-site study is intended to collect data and samples from a nationwide cohort of children with Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). PANS is defined by three clinical criteria:
1. Abrupt, dramatic onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or severely restricted

Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) regulation is crucial for the adequate oxygen supply to the brain and the sustenance of cerebrovascular reserve capacity. A fundamental physiologic regulator of CBF is the carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2), which determines the dilatation or contraction of cerebral
Background Tourette's syndrome (TS) is characterized by the occurrence, before 18 years of age, of multiple motor and vocal tics, which do not necessarily occur concomitantly. Tics constitute the clinical hallmark of TS; they are sudden, brief, intermittent involuntary (or semi-involuntary)
Inclusion criteria for PANDAS subjects are:
- Ages 4 -40 years
- Presence of DSM-IV-R obsessive compulsive disorder or tic disorder and at least two of the following:
1. Anxieties e.g. new onset separation anxiety
2. Sensory abnormalities (tactile/auditory/visual defensiveness or visual
Study Design Overview: The goal of this study is to perform a short-term, proof of concept study to examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of riluzole and D-serine in the treatment of tics. Each medication will be evaluated and compared to placebo as part of a randomized, double-blind,
