Overview

Tremor is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation. Diagnosing the underlying cause of tremor is also a clinical diagnosis based on, a detailed history taking, observing patient as they enter the room and during history taking, followed by a focused physical exam.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Study of choice

Tremor is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation. Diagnosing the underlying cause of tremor is a clinical diagnosis based on:
- A detailed history taking
- Observing patient when they enter the room and during history taking.
- Focused physical examination
Aim is to identify:
- Type of tremor
- Onset, frequency of tremor, location, unilateral/bilateral
- Signs and symptoms associated with it
