We studied the effects of transcranial motor cortex stimulation on the electromyographic characteristics of tremor in 9 patients with familial essential tremor and in 12 patients with postural tremor associated with Parkinson's disease. Transcranial magnetic stimulation reset both types of tremor eq

The response of postural wrist tremors to brief mechanical displacements was compared in two groups of patients, one with classical hereditary essential tremor (n = 18) and another with typical Parkinson's disease (n = 13). These groups were compared with an additional group of normal subjects mimic
We conducted a double-blind trial of isoniazid in 11 patients with essential tremor and four patients with other types of postural action tremor. The tremor had not been helped by beta-blockers or primidone. Isoniazid was given in doses up to 1,200 mg daily, together with 100 mg pyridoxine, for four
OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of different bedside tests for essential tremor (ET). BACKGROUND: Numerous tests (for example, writing, arm extension) may be used to elicit tremor in patients with ET. In large epidemiological surveys in which many patients must be evaluated efficiently, knowl
