## Abstract Primary orthostatic tremor (OT) is a rare but disabling condition characterized by leg tremor and feelings of instability during stance. Previous studies have reported a reduction in OT symptoms with gabapentin treatment. In this study, we report on the benefits of gabapentin treatment
We previously developed a method of tremor quantification using long-term electromyography registration of antagonistic forearm muscles that is reliable, sensitive, and specific for pathologic tremors. The present study demonstrates that tremor occurrence as measured by this method correlates well w
