Abstract:
Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder. It is characterized by a distinctive 4-12 Hz action tremor typically affecting bilateral upper limbs. Existing drugs for ET mainly include β-blockers, anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines, etc. However, the efficacy of existing drugs is limited. With the development of the medical research, some progress has been made in the treatment of ET. The review will explore the recent advances in the treatment of ET,such as new drugs, surgical treatment, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, rehabilitation treatment, etc., in order to provide clinical application prospects.
