Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of injections of botulinum toxin on simple motor tics. BACKGROUND: Case series with unblinded assessments have reported improvement in tic frequency and associated urge with botulinum toxin. METHODS: Patients with suitable simple motor tics were randomized to receive botulinum toxin and placebo in a double blind, crossover design. All outcomes compared week 2 to baseline measurements. The primary outcome measure was the number of treated tics per minute on a videotape segment. Secondary outcome measures were number of untreated tics per minute, the Shapiro Tourette Syndrome Severity Scale score, a numerical assessment of the urge to perform the treated tic (0 to 4), the premonitory sensation associated with the treated tic (0 to 4), and the patient's global impression of change. RESULTS: Eighteen patients completed the study. The median relative change in treated tics per minute with botulinum toxin was -0.39 (or a 39% reduction) versus 0.058 (or a 5.8% increase) with placebo (net effect -0.37, p = 0.0007). The average change in urge scores (score range 0 to 4) was -0.46 in the treatment phase and +0.49 in the placebo phase (net effect 0.94, p = 0.02). Other secondary outcome measures were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Botulinum toxin reduced treated tic frequency and the urge associated with the treated tic. Despite these changes, patients did not report an overall benefit from the treatment. Careful consideration of the contribution of the target tic to the patient's disability is needed before making treatment decisions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
