    Essential tremor (ET), also known as essential tremor, is one of the most common sports disorders. **Unknown, impaired circuits including the cerebellum, thalamus, and brainstem may be the cause of essential tremor. Postural and motor tremors are predominantly hands, head, and other parts of the body.

    About 60 patients have a family history of autosomal dominant inheritance with high penetrance, so the disease is also called familial tremor. The incidence of essential tremor in the general population is and increases with age.

    Main clinical manifestations Essential tremor can occur at any age, mostly in middle-aged and elderly people, with two peaks in 20 to 30 years and 50 to 60 years old. The only symptom of the disease is tremor, no change in muscle tone, and occasionally reported with abnormal intonation and gait. Tremor often begins in the hands and gradually affects the forearms and upper arms, head, jaw, lips, tongue, and throat. It is generally believed that essential tremor is a symmetrical onset of bilateral upper limbs, and can also have unilateral upper limb onset, mostly involving the upper limbs innervated by the dominant hemispheres, and rarely involving the trunk and bilateral lower limbs, only appearing late in the course of the disease, and the degree is mild; Some are confined to the hands or upper limbs.

    The tremor frequency is 6 12 seconds, the amplitude is small to moderate, and the amplitude increases with age, and the severe patients have difficulty writing and speaking. Typical symptoms are rhythmic abduction and adduction tremor of the hand, flexion and extension tremor, and pronation and supination tremor similar to Parkinson's symptoms are rare, mainly manifested as severe postural tremor and head tremor of the hand. The reaction to alcohol in patients with essential tremor is characteristic, and many patients can reduce tremor even if they consume only a small amount of alcohol.

    Essential tremor can be associated with other movement disorders, most commonly with Parkinson's disease. Some patients have dystonia, and a few may even have Tourette syndrome and restless legs syndrome.

    Prognostic assessment: age of onset is not associated with prognosis, and severity of tremor is not associated with mortality. Although essential tremor is stable for a long time or for life, and does not affect work and life, some severe patients will have difficulty moving, even lose the ability to work, and have difficulty taking care of themselves.

    Discharge follow-up: Neurological symptoms generally do not require hospitalization, outpatient follow-up, and medications**. When liver impairment is the first symptom, it is advisable to stay in the gastroenterology department**.

    The main symptom of essential tremor is postural tremor, which is an involuntary but rhythmic tremor of the limb muscles. Tremors usually begin in the upper extremities and may also affect the head, legs, trunk, voice, and facial muscles.

    Severe symptoms of essential tremor usually begin symmetrically on both sides, starting with the hands and affecting the head and neck, voice, legs, or trunk. Some patients begin with tremors in the head and neck, tongue, or voice, but rarely in the legs. If this makes it difficult to detect early.

    The severe symptoms of essential tremor are mainly manifested by affecting the flexor and extensor muscles of the limbs, and are dominated by rhythmic upward and downward vibration movements. The frequency and amplitude of tremor change, and its progression is very slow.

    Severe symptoms of essential tremor are characterized by worsening tremor when performing certain fine movements, such as holding a drinking glass, tying a shoelace, or holding a needle and thread. As the course of the disease increases, the frequency of tremor decreases and the amplitude increases, leading to more severe functional impairment, and patients often have difficulty controlling tremor, thus affecting work and daily life. Essential tremor reacts differently to alcohol, some patients can reduce tremor by ingesting a small amount of alcohol, but after 42% and 75% of patients drink alcohol, the tremor decreases for only 2 4 hours, and the tremor worsens the next day.

    Essential tremor is more common in the late teens or early adulthood, and tremor is the only clinical symptom that manifests as postural or action tremor, often involving one or both hands or head, and the symptoms do not become apparent until later.

    In addition to causing physical and social embarrassment, it usually does not cause disability, and in some cases tremor can interfere with the completion of fine motor movements such as writing, and when the laryngeal muscles are affected, it can affect speech, and the lower extremities are often not affected. Patients often report significant relief from small amounts of alcohol consumption, but this is short-lived and the mechanism is unclear. Examination usually shows no other neurologic signs.

    Essential tremor affects activity after 10 to 20 years of onset, increasing in severity with age, resulting in impaired ability to perform fine activities, reaching a peak in the 6th decade after onset, 86% of patients by 60 to 70 years of age can affect social activities and living ability, including writing, drinking, eating, dressing, speech, and manipulation. The greater the tremor amplitude, the greater the effect on mobility, and the effect of tremor on gender health searches was not different.

    Muscle stiffness: People with essential tremor often become stiff in their limbs and torso. The early stages of the lesion usually begin on one limb.

    At the beginning, I feel that the movement of one limb is inflexible and stiff, and gradually worsens, and I have difficulty in moving slowly, and even do some daily life movements.

    Resting tremor: Tremor is often the earliest manifestation of the disease, usually starting at the distal end of one upper extremity, mainly the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and is manifested by finger movements that seem to be rubbing balls or counting bills. It then gradually extends to the ipsilateral lower and contralateral limbs, and in the late stage may affect the jaw, lips, tongue, and head.

    Bradykinesia: In the early stage, due to the rigidity of the upper arm muscles and finger muscles, the patient's upper limbs are often unable to perform fine movements, such as untying shoelaces and buttoning, which become much slower than before, or cannot be completed smoothly at all. Writing also gradually became difficult, the handwriting was crooked, and the writing became smaller and smaller.

    Special posture: Although the patient's whole body muscles can be affected and muscle tone increases, the flexor muscle tone is higher than that of the extensor muscles at rest, so the patient has special postures: head forward tilt, trunk slightly flexed, upper arm adduction, elbow flexion, wrist slightly extended, metacarpophesal joint flexion and interphalangeal joint straightened, thumb to palm, hip and knee joint slightly flexed.
