## Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most prevalent neurological disorders. At the same time, it is among the most poorlyβunderstood of these disorders. The underlying anatomical pathology of ET has been elusive until recently. Postmortem studies have begun to display some of the underly
We read with interest the recent article by Handforth and Martin, 1 "Pilot Efficacy and Tolerability: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Levetiracetam for Essential Tremor." We also performed a pilot study of levetiracetam (LEV, Keppra) for essential tremor (ET) in 6 ET patients to assess its
## Abstract Patients with essential tremor (ET) have kinetic arm tremor; this tremor can also have an intentional component. We are unaware of reports of intention tremor of the head in ET. Our aims were to describe, provide electrophysiological data and video documentation of, and estimate the pre
Teaching videotapes, developed to aid in the evaluation of several movement disorders, have not been used in essential tremor research. As part of the Washington Heights-Inwood Genetic Study of Essential Tremor (WHIGET), we developed a reliable and valid tremor rating scale. Because this rating scal
The effect of clonidine treatment (average dose 0.4 mgiday) was investigated in 10 patients with essential tremor in a double-blind placebo-controlled design. Tremor amplitude and frequency were recorded with a n accelerometer. Tremor was not significantly altered by clonidine therapy. Side ef-
