Intention tremor of the head in patients with essential tremor (original) (raw)

This study investigates intention tremor of the head in patients with essential tremor (ET), expanding on the established understanding of ET, which primarily involves arm tremor. The findings indicate that intention tremor is present not only in the arms but also in the head, suggesting a possible role of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of ET. Notably, the research observes that patients with intention tremor of the head exhibit distinct features from those with postural tremors, warranting further studies to explore the underlying mechanisms and potential cerebellar pathology.
