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.

Aim is to identify:
- Type of tremor
- Onset, frequency of tremor, location, unilateral/bilateral
- Signs and symptoms associated with it
