    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Movement Disorders

    Background:

    • Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic, and oscillatory movement with diverse clinical presentations.
    • Accurate diagnosis of tremor disorders is often challenging, leading to common misdiagnoses.

    Observation:

    • A comprehensive evaluation begins with a detailed patient history and a focused neurological examination.
    • Distinguishing between action tremors (postural, kinetic, intention) and resting tremors is crucial for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Common action tremors include essential tremor, enhanced physiologic tremor, drug-induced tremor, dystonic tremor, primary writing tremor, orthostatic tremor, and cerebellar tremor.
    • Parkinson disease is the most frequent cause of resting tremor.
    • Focused ultrasound thalamotomy targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus shows promise for essential tremor treatment.
