Tick ​​never pursues a man in a dream. In children it is more common than in adults, and more often in boys than in girls.

Phenomena of this kind are primary and secondary.

Primary tick is often seen in children, less common in adults. In most cases, the primary end ticks to 18-20 years. They are associated with hyperactivity of one of the areas of the brain that is responsible for many of the movements that are performed automatically, ie without the involvement of the cortex.

instrumental examination

With instrumental surveys reveal physicians, resulting in tick eyes appeared especially important when this phenomenon occurs in the adult.

Features:

• To exclude brain pathology (tumors, hemorrhage, etc.), apply the method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Skull examined for computer tomography to detect tumors and bone injuries (CT).
  
• Myography (EMG) detects the electrical activity of different muscles at rest and during stress. Held for diagnosing signal transmission from nerves to muscles.
