The Online Remote Behavioural Treatment for Tics study (‘ORBIT’ for short) was a four-year project funded by the NIHR Health Technology Assessment.

This project involved working with young people and their families to test out two new online behavioural treatments for tics and Tourette syndrome. These online treatments had already been tried out in Sweden. The study aimed to see whether they are also useful for children and young people in England.

The project was a collaboration between the University of Nottingham, NIHR MindTech MedTech Co-operative, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital, University College London, and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.
