Tremor refers to rhythmic shaking of a body part. There are more than 20 kinds of tremor.
Essential tremor (ET) is the most common. Although called
benign essential tremor in the past, it may be far from benign. Indeed, it may be quite
frustrating, embarrassing or disabling. People with ET may avoid dining in restaurants or talking
in front of others. They may be tired of being told they're "nervous" because their voice quivers
or they fear the ordeal of signing a check in public.
Fortunately, it need not be that way. Effective treatments are available for ET. However, many
experts believe that only a small percentage of people with ET get medical help. Click here to
