摘要：

Although essential tremor is common, its various presentations may be confused with other movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and dystonic tremor. In this article, Dr Evidente describes classification of tremor, the clinical features of essential tremor, and the differential diagnostic considerations. He also discusses the extensive list of medications used to treat the disorder and the surgical options for severe, drug-resistant cases.
