Abstract:
Parkinson′s disease is a common degenerative disease of the central nerve system, mainly caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the compact part of substantia nigra. Tremor is one of the most common symptoms of Parkinson′s disease. Part of patients changing posture position could cause the tremor suspended for a period of time, after that, the tremor appear again. This clinical phenomenon is characterized by the reproducibility of Parkinson′s disease tremor, called re-emergent tremor (RET). The cause of RET mechanism is still unclear and the relative researches are less. This review summarizes the possible mechanism, clinical features and significance of RET in Parkinson′s disease.
