Shapiro TS Severity Scale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shapiro TS Severity Scale (STSS) is a psychological measure used to briefly assess severity of tics.[1][2] The STSS is easier to administer than other recommended scales, but does not measure frequency, complexity, or distribution of tics.[1]
