    Essential tremor belongs to the category of "tremor syndrome" in Chinese medicine.

    Essential tremor** has the following factors:

    1. Due to excessive emotion, emotional imbalance, too much depression and anxiety, and loss of internal organs. Depression hurts the liver, liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and muscles and veins are not nourished; or the liver is depressed and turns into fire and wind, the wind and yang are violent, channeling through the human network, disturbing the muscles and veins; If you think too much, it will damage the heart and spleen, the source of qi and blood will be insufficient, and the muscles and veins will be lost; Or due to spleen deficiency and unlucky, the fluid is lost in the infusion cloth, and the dampness is damp and phlegm, and the phlegm turbidity flows through the meridians, disturbing the tendons and veins.

    2. Excessive consumption of heavy greasy or alcoholic addiction, damage to the spleen and stomach, accumulation of dampness and phlegm, phlegm turbidity blocking the meridians and moving wind; or breed internal heat, phlegm and heat are intertwined, and the meridians are blocked and the wind is moved; Or due to hunger and satiety, overeating raw and cold, damaging the spleen and stomach, lack of qi and blood biochemistry, resulting in muscle and vein dystrophy and tremor syndrome.

    3. Labor and hard work, endless movements, so that the muscle fascia is damaged and tired; or too much desire for intercourse, liver and kidney deficiency, yin and blood are damaged, and the deficiency wind moves internally; Or greedy and less active, so that the qi slows down and the spleen stagnate and the qi and blood decrease, and the muscles and veins are not adjusted and cannot be allowed to be autonomous, which is a sign of tremor.

    4. Old age and body weakness, after middle age, the spleen and stomach are gradually damaged, the liver and kidney are deficient, the essence is weakened, and the muscles and veins are not nourished; or insufficient endowment, kidney essence deficiency, visceral qi imbalance; or long-term illness and weakness, dysfunction of the internal organs, lack of qi and blood, yin and yang, lack of nourishment of muscles and veins, and internal movement of deficiency and wind.

    The condition of essential tremor is not particularly well understood, and it may be genetically caused or due to environmental factors. Essential tremor may also occur if you have heavy lead in your diet or if you smoke for a long time.

    Essential tremor usually presents with postural tremor, which usually begins in the upper extremities and affects the head or legs and trunk, as well as the vocalizations and facial muscles.

    Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder and consists mainly of postural and motor tremor in the hands, head, and other parts of the body. Essential tremor has a conflicting clinical nature, on the one hand, it is a mild single symptomatic disease, and on the other hand, it is a common progressive disease with significant clinical variation. The tremor of this disease, which worsens with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, and hunger, and in most cases disappears temporarily after drinking alcohol and worsens the next day, which is also a clinical feature of essential tremor.

    Essential tremor** is unclear and can be confused with tremor produced by other disorders.

    The exact condition of the disease remains unclear. It may be the result of a combination of peripheral spindle afferents and central autonomic oscillators. The ventro-intermediate nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus, a nucleus that receives proprioceptive afferents, may play a key role in the rhythmic burst firing activity of neurons, as confirmed by both neurophysiological recordings and stereotactic surgery.

    PET studies with oxygen(15[O])-labeled CO2 showed selective bilateral cerebellum and inferior olive nucleus hypermetabolism. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) showed increased activity in the contralateral cortical motor and sensory areas, globus pallidus, and thalamus, and hyperactivity in both dentate nuclei, cerebellar hemispheres, and red nucleus in both affected limbs. These suggestive tremors are a result of the cerebellar-olive nucleus circuit** in the thalamus and motor cortex-spinal pathways.

    Because there are no specific changes in pathological anatomy, the location of the abnormally vibrating central nervous system "pacemaker" is unknown, so it is speculated that the central oscillator is enhanced or inhibited by peripheral reflexes that regulate the production and amplitude of tremor.

    1. Familial heritability is the main predisposing factor of essential tremor. In long-term practice, medical scientists have found that essential tremor seems to have a tendency to cluster in families, and the incidence of essential tremor in the family and relatives of patients with essential tremor is higher than that of the normal population.

    2. Aging is also the predisposing factor of essential tremor, essential tremor mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and the onset before the age of 40 is rare, indicating that aging is related to the onset of the disease, studies have found that since the age of 30, the activity of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, tyrosine oxidase and dopa decarboxylase, and the level of dopamine transmitters in the striatal body gradually decrease with age, however, only a small number of elderly people suffer from this disease, indicating that physiological dopaminergic neuronal metamorphosis is not enough to cause disease, and aging is only the precipitating factor of the disease.

    3. Environmental factors are also predisposing factors for essential tremor. Epidemiological findings have found regional differences in the prevalence of essential tremor, leading to suspicion that there may be some toxic substances in the environment that damage neurons in the brain.

    The most exact form of essential tremor is not yet clear, but modern medical research has found that this disease is related to a variety of factors such as genetic factors, environmental factors, and cerebral vascular lesions. Essential tremor is most commonly caused by abnormal signaling in certain areas of the brain, including the cerebellum, thalamus, and brainstem. About 30 to 50% of patients have a family history of the disease; People with certain bad habits, such as long-term drinking habits, are more likely to have essential tremor than ordinary people in people who smoke frequently.

    Patients who have had a cerebral infarction or intracerebral hemorrhage are also more likely to develop essential tremor.

    3. Long-term exposure to special drugs or chemical poisons;

    4. Consumption of allergenic substances such as seafood;

    5. After a cold or exertion, the hands are found to tremble involuntarily, and such cryptogenic factors can also lead to essential tremor.

    Essential tremor is caused by abnormal signaling in specific areas of the brain, including the cerebellum, thalamus, and brainstem. The exact cause of the disease is unknown, but about 30% to 50% of patients have a family history and are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. However, some people who have no family history can also get the disease.

    Predisposing factors. Studies have found that the level of dehydrocamel spine in patients with familial essential tremor is higher than that of the normal population, and dehydroscarpine is a neurotoxic substance that can cause tremor, which is found to be high in meat after prolonged high-temperature cooking.

    Heavy metals such as lead and smoking in the diet may also be associated with the onset of essential tremor.

    Essential tremor is a type of tremor, and tremor is divided into physiological tremor and pathological tremor.

    Essential tremor has a certain relationship with genetics, patients are prone to head or limb tremors, if you are nervous or when you are concentrating, the symptoms may be aggravated, but generally do not cause discomfort such as limb stiffness and weakness.

    Essential tremor generally does not affect the patient's ability to live and does not require special **.

    If the tremor is caused by pathological reasons, it is necessary to prevent infection in daily life.

    If there are symptoms such as cough and fever, it is necessary to be timely to avoid serious infection, and once the tremor affects life and work, it is necessary to be timely**.

    Essential tremor is also known as benign familial tremor. It is an autosomal dominant inherited disease. Essential tremor is predominantly 60% and has a family history, mainly manifested by hand tremor, followed by head tremor.

    This tremor is to be distinguished from Parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease. Essential tremor is often manifested by tremor movements during nervousness or immobilization, exertion, hunger, or fatigue, which can be temporarily relieved later, but the tremor may worsen the next day. Parkinson's disease is a tremor disease that occurs in senile disease, mainly manifested as resting tremor, accompanied by symptoms often accompanied by difficulty initiating, or stiff expression, movement disorders, and even insomnia or other psychiatric symptoms.

    Parkinsonism is mainly due to cerebrovascular disease or cortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy that causes tremor-like dyskinesia. For parkinsonism and essential tremor, the effect of anti-Parkinson's drugs is not obvious, while essential tremor often uses drugs to relieve mental tension and anxiety, which can play a certain relieving role, but will not further evolve into Parkinson's disease and will not evolve into Parkinsonism.
