The timing of tremor: a biological clock in essential tremor?
patients who were older than 60 (tremor duration ≥ 10 years). The difference was highly significant. In multivariate models, while head tremor was associated with age (p < 0.001), it was not independently associated with tremor duration (p = 0.26). Indeed, with the exception of 1 patient, head tremor did not begin before age 36. In sum, these data, from a large sample of ET patients, indicate t...
متن کاملTremor in a Bassoonist: Tremor in Dystonia or Essential Tremor?
JMD Dear Editor, Tremor is a common clinical feature in dystonia. It can be seen in both affected and unaffected body parts in patients with dystonia. Clinically, it may not be easily distinguishable from essential tremor, currently defined as a bilateral, largely symmetric postural or kinetic tremor involving the hands and forearms that is visible and persistent, with an associated or isolated...
متن کاملWhen do essential tremor patients develop head tremor? Influences of age and duration and evidence of a biological clock.
BACKGROUND Essential tremor (ET) is a chronic, progressive neurological disease. Head (neck) tremor may eventually develop in as many as 30-60% of patients, yet it is unclear why. Is its appearance merely a function of advancing disease duration? Alternatively, is patient age a primary factor? The latter would argue for the presence of a biological clock that is important for the expression of ...
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 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...
