Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of psychotherapy in children with tic disorder and to provide basis for the application of psychotherapy in the treatment of children with tic disorder. Methods: A detailed search was conducted based on PubMed, Cochrane library database, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP database to determine the randomized controlled trial (RCT) of psychotherapy combined with drugs and oral drugs in the treatment of tic disorder. The search time was from the establishment of the database to August 20, 2021. All kinds of extracted data are meta analyzed, and the statistical software used is Review Manager 5.3 software. Results: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 clinical trials were finally included, including 513 TD children, including 267 in the psychological intervention group and 246 in the control group. All trials were conducted in China and published from 2013 to 2021. In terms of clinical efficacy, compared with the control group, the psychotherapy combined with drugs group had more advantages in improving the effective rate (RR = 3.25, 95% CI: 2.17~4.85, Z = 5.74, P < 0.00001) and improving the clinical symptoms of children with TD (WM = -5.36, 95% CI: -6.41 ~ -4.30, Z = 9.97, P < 0.00000 1). Conclusion: Psychotherapy as an adjuvant therapy for clinical treatment of TD can improve the clinical efficacy, but due to the low methodological quality of the existing trials, the research may have potential bias. In the future, large sample, multicenter, and double-blind randomized controlled trials need to be carried out to provide further support.
