Essential tremor is type of tremor in which the cause is unknown and this is unlike the tremor in
Hyperthyroidism and Parkinsonism where there are definitive treatment available.
There are some mechanism to control these tremors eg
1.Since
anxiety and stress classically make the tremor worse, non-medical
relaxation techniques and biofeedback can be effective in some patients.
2. To avoid some medication if they are related with tremor.
3.Medications known to make tremors worse should be eliminated or minimized when possible.
If the tremor becomes unbearable some methods are available to control eg.
In some patients, tremors can be reduced by weighting the limb, usually by applying wrist weights. In a small proportion of patients, this can dampen down the tremor enough to provide some relief or improve functioning.
Other than this there are some medicine which can relieve embarrassing tremors eg
1.Betablocker eg Propranolol
2.Primidon
but the treatment should be prescribed by an expert
Neurologist and taken under his/ her guidance
