Overview
This section provides a short and straight to the point overview of the disease or symptom. The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.
Causes
| Postural Tremors | Resting Tremors | Intention Tremors | Complex Tremors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Postural tremor occurs when the patient maintains a specific posture such as holding the arms outstretched or while standing. | |||
| Alcohol & drug withdrawl | Drug-induced parkinsonism | Holmes' tremor (midbrain, red nucleus, rubral, or thalamic tremor)
| |
Metabolic causes
|
Parkinson's disease | Cerebellar lesions:
· Abscess · Friedreich's ataxia · Hemorrhage · Multiple sclerosis · Spinocerebellar degeneration · Stroke Tumor |
Neuropathic tremor:
•Chronic relapsing polyneuropathy •Guillain-Barré syndrome •Diabetes •IgM neuropathy |
| Essential Tremors: Essential tremor Progressively persistent coarse or fine, slow (4–8 Hz) tremor, usually symmetric and affecting both upper extremities and sometimes the head and voice, particularly in patients with a family history of tremor | Progressive supranuclear palsy | Drug-induced | Psychogenic tremor
Wilson's disease |
| Physiological Tremor :Fine, rapid (8–13 Hz) tremor that occurs in otherwise healthy people and may be enhanced by certain drugs or conditions
Usually, suppression of tremor with low doses of alcohol and other sedatives |
