Objective identification of upper limb tremor in multiple sclerosis using a wrist-worn motion sensor: establishing validity and reliability [PDF]
Introduction Over 25% of people with multiple sclerosis experience tremor, which may impact on activities of daily living and quality of life. Yet there is no method to objectively measure tremor and effectiveness of interventions on tremor.

Tremor in motor neuron disease may be central rather than peripheral in origin [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Motor neuron disease (MND) refers to a spectrum of degenerative diseases affecting motor neurons. Recent clinical and post-mortem observations have revealed considerable variability in the phenotype.

Alprazolam for essential tremor
Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders. Treatment is based primarily on pharmacological agents. On this basis, although primidone and propranolol are well-established treatments in clinical practice, they could be ineffective in 25% to 55% of patients and can produce serious adverse events (AEs) in a large percentage of ...

Essential Tremor as a “Waste Basket” Diagnosis: Diagnosing Essential Tremor Remains a Challenge
Introduction: The diagnosis of essential tremor (ET) remains a clinical one, and diagnostic errors are common. We aimed to (1) determine precisely how frequently ET diagnoses are misapplied (i.e., what percentage of patients who have been assigned an “ET”

A noninvasive handheld assistive device to accommodate essential tremor: A pilot study [PDF]
Background We explored whether a noninvasive handheld device using Active Cancellation of Tremor (ACT) technology could stabilize tremor‐induced motion of a spoon in individuals with essential tremor (ET). Methods Fifteen ET subjects (9 men, 6 women)

Essential Tremor and Essential Tremor Plus Are Essentially Similar Electrophysiologically. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe merits of classifying the heterogeneous group of essential tremors into essential tremor (ET) and essential tremor plus (ETP) are debated.ObjectivesWe studied the electrophysiological and spiral characteristics of tremor in ET and ETP.MethodsWe reviewed standardized videos from a tremor database and clinically classified patients ...

LINC00323 variant is associated with increased risk of essential tremor
Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common adult movement disorder, with accumulating evidence suggesting that genetic factors primarily account for ET risk. However, replication studies on the genetic variants have yielded inconsistent results. In our case–control study, we show that the LINC00323 variant, identified in a European GWAS study, is ...

CNS Mitochondria‐Derived Vesicle in Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Brain Mitochondria Dysfunction
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Our goal was to develop practical, noninvasive methods to assess mitochondrial status through the detection of mitochondria‐derived vesicles (MDVs).

One central oscillatory drive is compatible with experimental motor unit behaviour in essential and Parkinsonian tremor [PDF]
Pathological tremors are symptomatic to several neurological disorders that are difficult to differentiate and the way by which central oscillatory networks entrain tremorogenic contractions is unknown.
