Essential Tremor
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 tremors: a family of neurodegenerative disorders?
29 Sep 2009 
Essential tremor (ET) is the most common pathologic tremor in humans. The traditional view of ET, as a monosymptomatic condition, is being replaced by an appreciation of the spectrum of clinical features, with both motor and nonmotor elements. These ... Read more...
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...
30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Tremor continuously attracts the attention of clinicians and basic researchers in search of pathophysiological, molecular and genetic mechanisms of the oscillatory activity. RECENT FINDINGS: A widespread dynamic network of ... Read more...
