The differences in clinical characteristics and natural history between essential tremor and essential tremor plus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The diverse clinical manifestation of essential tremor (ET) has led to the question whether the different phenotypes may affect the clinical outcome and progression.

Response to Thalamic Ventralis Intermedius Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Essential Tremor vs. Essential Tremor-Plus [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Introduction: Essential tremor (ET) is a tremor syndrome characterized by bilateral, upper limb action tremor. Essential tremor-plus (ET-plus) describes ET patients with additional neurologic signs. It is unknown whether there is a difference in response

Deep brain stimulation for essential tremor versus essential tremor plus: should we target the same spot in the thalamus? [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 BackgroundAlthough ET is a phenomenologically heterogeneous condition, thalamic DBS appears to be equally effective across subtypes. We hypothesized stimulation sites optimized for individuals with essential tremor (ET) would differ from individuals with

Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Essential Tremor Plus Is as Effective as in Essential Tremor [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2020 The new essential tremor (ET) classification defined ET-plus (ET-p) as an ET subgroup with additional neurological signs besides action tremor. While deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective in ET, there are no studies specifically addressing DBS ...

Essential Tremor and Essential Tremor Plus Are Essentially Similar Electrophysiologically. [PDF]
Mov Disord Clin Pract, 2023 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 ...

Bayesian Interpretation of Essential Tremor Plus. [PDF]
J Clin Neurol, 2022 Essential tremor (ET) plus is a new tremor classification that was introduced in 2018 by a task force of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. Patients with ET plus meet the criteria for ET but have one or more additional systemic or neurologic signs of uncertain significance or relevance to tremor ("soft signs").

Essential tremor plus rest tremor: current concepts and controversies. [PDF]
J Neural Transm (Vienna), 2022 AbstractSince the initial description of Essential Tremor (ET), the entity of ET with rest tremor has proven to be a controversial concept. Some authors argued it could be a late manifestation of ET, others suggested it could be a variant of ET, yet others suggested it could represent a transitional state between ET and Parkinson's disease.

Phenotypic Features of Isolated Essential Tremor, Essential Tremor Plus, and Essential Tremor-Parkinson's Disease in a Movement Disorders Clinic. [PDF]
Tremor Other Hyperkinet Mov (N Y), 2021 Patients with essential tremor were initially considered to have isolated tremor, but additional motor and non-motor features have been increasingly recognized. The term "essential tremor plus" was adopted by the Task Force on Tremor of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society to describe essential tremor patients with additional ...

Lack of Familial Aggregation of the "Essential Tremor-Plus" Phenotype in Familial Essential Tremor. [PDF]
Neuroepidemiology, 2022 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Essential tremor (ET) is a highly prevalent neurological disease that frequently runs in families. A recent and controversial proposal is to separate ET patients into two distinct groups – ET versus ET-plus. If this were a valid construct, one would expect in familial aggregation studies to observe that
