Essential tremor (ET) is a neurological condition that causes a rhythmic tremor of the hands, head, voice, legs, or trunk. In individuals with essential tremor, the symptom most often occurs in the hands and/or arms. Typically, both hands or arms are affected, although one side of the body is affected more than the other. Diagnosing essential tremors is challenging and involves reviewing your medical history, family history, and symptoms, as well as performing a physical examination. During a neurological examination, your doctor tests your nervous system function and may observe you as you: Drink from a cup Hold your arms outstretched Write Draw a spiral. Treatment is directed at the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. References: New England Journal of Medicine: https://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/...
