Variability in amplitude of untreated essential tremor.
Tremor amplitude was monitored in untreated patients with essential tremor by a procedure designed to minimise fluctuations due to factors known to influence tremor. Tremor was measured hourly for 6 hours in 14 patients and on five to seven occasions (separated by at least a week) in 22 patients. A wide range of within-patient variability was found, with some patients showing little and others ...
متن کاملKnowledge about Essential Tremor: A Study of Essential Tremor Families
Background Essential tremor (ET) is among the most common neurological diseases and it often runs in families. How knowledgeable ET patients and their families are about their disease has been the subject of surprisingly little scholarship. Methods To fill this gap in knowledge, we administered a comprehensive 32-item survey (i.e., questions about etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms and signs...
متن کاملEssential tremor
Methods Seventy-two patients with severe, medication-refractory essential tremor have been enrolled across seven international centers. Standard assessments of tremor severity and disability will be obtained before and after the procedure. Patients are randomized in a one-to-three fashion to receive either sham procedure or MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The Tremor Research Group, ne...
متن کاملUnawareness of head tremor in essential tremor: a study of three samples of essential tremor patients.
To broadly sample ET in different settings, we selected cases from three settings: a tertiaryreferral center (largest sample),5 a population-based study in Manhattan,6 and a brain repository.7 As expected, cases differed in several respects (Table). Using the same clinical questionnaire, each case was asked whether he/she sometimes has a head tremor. A 20 minute videotaped tremor examination wa...
متن کاملPharmacotherapy of Essential Tremor
Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. This has limited the development of effective pharmacotherapy. The current therapeutic armamentaria for ET represent the product of careful clinical observation rather than targeted molecular modeling. Here we review their pharmacokinetics, metabolism, dosing, and adverse effect profiles and prop...
