This study investigated a rare Holmes tremor case, suggesting a psychogenic origin due to paradoxical responses to tests. Findings may redefine diagnostic criteria for hyperkinetic movement disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Movement Disorders
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Holmes tremor is a rare hyperkinetic movement disorder with irregular, high-amplitude jerks.
  • Its pathophysiology may involve cerebello-thalamic and nigrostriatal pathways.
  • Distinguishing organic from functional tremor is clinically challenging.
