Essential Tremor - Complications
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Essential Tremor'A relatively common disorder characterized by a fairly specific pattern of tremors which are most prominent in the upper extremities and neck, inducing titubations of the head. The tremor is usually mild, but when severe may be disabling. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance may occur in some families (i.e., familial tremor). (Mov Disord 1988;13(1):5-10) Common names: Essential Tremor; Essential Tremors; Tremor, Essential; Tremors, Essential; Benign Essential Tremor; Benign Essential Tremors; Essential Tremor, Benign; Essential Tremors, Benign; Tremor, Benign Essential; Tremors, Benign Essential; Familial Tremor; Familial Tremors; Tremor, Familial |

Essential tremor is associated with dementia: prospective population-based study in New York.
23 Aug 2009 
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive deficits, mainly in frontal-executive function and memory, have been reported in patients with essential tremor (ET). Furthermore, an association between ET and dementia has been reported in a single population-based study ... Read more...
Balance and motor speech impairment in essential tremor.
17 May 2009 The pathogenesis of essential tremor (ET) is still under debate. Several lines of evidence indicate that ET is associated with cerebellar dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to find corroborating evidence for this claim by investigating ... Read more...
Cerebellar atrophy in essential tremor using an automated segmentation method.
31 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Essential tremor (ET) is a slowly progressive disorder characterized by postural and kinetic tremors most commonly affecting the forearms and hands. Several lines of evidence from physiologic and neuroimaging studies point ... Read more...
