Knowledge about Essential Tremor: A Study of Essential Tremor Families

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
BackgroundEssential 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.MethodsTo fill ...

Estimation of time delay by coherence analysis [PDF]

, 2004
Using coherence analysis (which is an extensively used method to study the correlations in frequency domain, between two simultaneously measured signals) we estimate the time delay between two signals. This method is suitable for time delay estimation of

Postural and intention tremors: Detailed clinical study of essential tremor vs. Parkinson’s disease

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Background: An estimated 30-50% of essential tremor diagnoses are incorrect, and the true diagnosis in those patients is often Parkinson’s disease or other tremor disorders.

Essential pitfalls in “essential” tremor [PDF]

Movement Disorders, 2017
ABSTRACTAlthough essential tremor has been considered the most common movement disorder, it has largely remained a diagnosis of exclusion: many tremor and nontremor features must be absent for the clinical diagnosis to stand. The clinical features of “essential tremor” overlap with or may be part of other tremor disorders and, not surprisingly, this ...

Treatment with Botulinum Neurotoxin Improves Activities of Daily Living and Quality of Life in Patients with Upper Limb Tremor

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2019
Background: Botulinum neurotoxin’s degree of effectiveness on upper limb tremor is subject to debate; although this treatment reduces the tremor’s amplitude, a clear functional benefit has not been demonstrated.

Pharmacological characterization of nicotine-induced tremor: Responses to anti-tremor and anti-epileptic agents

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
We previously showed that nicotine evoked kinetic tremor by activating the inferior olive, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of essential tremor, via α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Action tremor of the legs in essential tremor : prevalence, clinical correlates, and comparison with age-matched controls [PDF]

, 2009
The hallmark feature of essential tremor (ET) is action tremor of the arms. Leg tremor may also occur yet it has not been the central focus of previous studies. Its prevalence has only rarely been reported, its clinical correlates have yet to be explored.

Nonlinear interactions in the thalamocortical loop in essential tremor: A model-based frequency domain analysis. [PDF]

, 2016
There is increasing evidence to suggest that essential tremor has a central origin. Different structures appear to be part of the central tremorogenic network, including the motor cortex, the thalamus and the cerebellum.

Diagnoses behind patients with hard-to-classify tremor and normal DaT-SPECT: a clinical follow up study [PDF]

, 2014
The [(123)I]ioflupane—a dopamine transporter radioligand—SPECT (DaT-SPECT) has proven to be useful in the differential diagnosis of tremor. Here, we investigate the diagnoses behind patients with hard-to-classify tremor and normal DaT-SPECT.
