Study of choice
Tremor is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation. Diagnosing the underlying cause of tremor is a clinical diagnosis based on:

The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (IPMDS) task force defines ET by the following four features[1]: Isolated tremor of bilateral upper limb, without other motor abnormalities, lasting at least three years, no neurological signs, and with or without a tremor in other locations.
