Tremor is a common, disabling movement disorder. New classifications and understanding of brain networks are advancing diagnostic and treatment options, including novel therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Movement Disorders
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Tremor is a prevalent and potentially disabling movement disorder with diverse etiologies.
  • Current treatment strategies encompass medications, adaptations, botulinum toxin injections, and functional neurosurgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolving understanding of tremor, including new classification systems and the role of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical network.
  • To highlight areas ripe for research, such as the genetics of common tremors and the development of new pharmacological treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of peer-reviewed journal articles and reviews from Pubmed.gov.
  • Analysis of a new tremor classification system with two axes: clinical characteristics and etiology.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • A new tremor classification system has been introduced, emphasizing clinical features and etiology.
  • The cerebello-thalamo-cortical network is increasingly recognized as critical in various tremor types.
  • Ongoing debate persists regarding the precise definition and pathophysiology of essential tremor.

Conclusions:

  • Advancements in understanding tremor pathophysiology are improving classification and driving trials for new treatments, especially surgical interventions.
  • Deeper phenotyping, enabled by the new classification, presents opportunities for genetic discoveries in common tremors.
  • There is a need for novel pharmacological therapies to complement current knowledge and treatment approaches.
