	Benign fasciculation syndrome - Medicow
		benign, nonpathologic fasciculations (not caused by disease or disorders).
		Benign Fasciculation Syndrome (BFS) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by hyperexcitability of the motor neurons (nerves that control movement).
		Essential tremor does sometimes occur in combination with other neurological disorders such as dystonia[?] and benign fasciculation syndrome.

	Benign essential tremor syndrome - Benign essential tremor syndrome
		Essential tremor is a neurological disorder characterized by shaking of hands (and sometimes other parts of the body including the head), evoked by intentional movements.
		Essential tremor is often found in more than one member of a family (familial tremor), in which case it is usually dominant in inheritance, or it may occur with no family history.
		ET is usually painless, although in some cases tremor of the head or neck may cause pain, and writing can become painful quickly for a person with hand tremors who grips a pen tightly in a struggle to maintain control over penmanship.

	Essential tremor
		Essential tremor (ET) is a nerve disorder characterized by uncontrollable shaking, or "tremors", in different parts and on different sides of the body.
		Essential tremor most often appears when the hands are being used, whereas a person with Parkinson's disease will most often have a tremor while walking or while the hands are resting.
		Essential tremor is not a life-threatening disorder, unless it prevents a patient from caring for him/herself.

		Essential tremor is a neurological disorder characterized by shaking of hands (and sometimes other parts of the body including the head), evoked by intentional movements.
		Essential tremor is often found in more than one member of a family (familial tremor), in which case it is usually dominant in inheritance, or it may occur with no family history.
		Essential tremor (ET) generally presents as a rhythmic tremor (4-12 Hz) that is present only when the affected muscle is exerting effort (i.e., it is not present at rest).

	Benign Essential Tremor - Health Topics - Medical Encyclopedia - MSN Health & Fitness (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Benign Essential Tremor is a neurologic movement disorder characterized by involuntary fine rhythmic tremor of a body part or parts, primarily the hands and arms (upper limbs).
		Although tremor is typically absent with rest--i.e., when the affected muscle is not voluntary activated--some individuals with advanced disease may develop resting tremors.
		Benign Essential Tremor may appear to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically) or be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait.

	Center for Parkinson's Disease & Other Movement Disorders
		Tremor is an oscillation that is usually rhythmical and regular that affects one or more body parts, such as the arms, legs, neck, tongue, chin or vocal cords.
		It is helpful to determine whether the tremor is present at rest (with the person seated or lying down), with posture holding (with the arms or legs extended in front of the body), with action (such as writing or pouring water), or with intention maneuvers (such as holding a finger on a target).
		Tremor at rest is usually present in the fingers, wrists or lips while "at rest" and is a common sign of parkinsonism (part of a collection of motor signs).

	Essential tremor
		Essential tremor is a nerve disorder in which tremors (shakes) occur without an identifiable cause when a person is moving or trying to move.
		It appears that essential tremor has some genetic basis, not only because of the hereditary pattern observed in some families, but also because an identical twin (who shares the same genes) of a person with essential tremor is twice as likely as a fraternal twin (who has different genes) to have essential tremor.
		Essential tremor is a relatively benign condition, affecting movement or voice quality, but with no other effects.

	Essential Tremor Information on Healthline
		Tremor is derived from the Latin "to shake." It is an involuntary, rhythmic, back and forth oscillation or shaking of a part of the body, resulting from alternating or irregularly synchronous contractions of antagonist muscles.
		It is a syndrome characterized by a slowly progressive postural and/or kinetic tremor of certain body parts, most commonly the arms, hands, and head when the respective body part is maintained in a constant position.
		Tremor amplitude worsens with emotion, cold, hunger, and fatigue, and tends to increase with age.

	Essential tremor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tremor intensity can worsen in response to fatigue, strong emotions, hunger, cold, or other factors and can be reduced with alcohol in approximately 50 percent of patients.
		Essential tremor (ET) generally presents as a rhythmic tremor (4-12Hz) that is present only when the affected muscle is exerting effort (i.e., it is not present at rest).
		ET is usually painless, although in some cases tremor of the head or neck causes pain, and writing can become painful quickly for a person with hand tremors who grips a pen tightly in a struggle to maintain control over penmanship.

	Surgery for Intractable Tremor - Neurosurgical Service - Massachusetts General Hospital
		Tremor is defined as an involuntary rhythmical movement and is often categorized in three positions: hands in repose (rest), hands held up with arms outstretched (postural), and during movement (intention).
		Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders and is characterized by disabling intentional tremor which is not secondary to Parkinson’s disease (PD) or other neurologic disroders.
		Similar results are obtained in patients with intractable essential tremor with 80-100% of patients having marked or moderate improvement (Table 1).(9, 14, 25) In a series of 8 patients with ET treated with thalamotomy reported by Goldman et al., tremor was absent or markedly reduced in all patients at a mean follow-up of 17 months.

	Tremor - October 15, 2003 - American Family Physician
		Enhanced physiologic tremor is a visible, high-frequency postural tremor that occurs in the absence of neurologic disease and is caused by medical conditions such as thyrotoxicosis, hypoglycemia, the use of certain drugs, or withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines.
		Essential tremor is a visible postural tremor of hands and forearms that may include a kinetic component.
		Typically, the tremor is a flexion-extension elbow movement, a pronation-supination of the forearm, or a pill-rolling finger movement.

	Postgraduate Medicine: Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders
		The typical phenotype of essential tremor is a mild symmetric postural tremor of the upper limbs that is accentuated by voluntary movement and on reaching the target (terminal tremor) (2).
		Tremor in patients with essential tremor is worsened by excitement, anger, fatigue, sleep deprivation, anxiety, fear, hunger, and extremes in temperature (7).
		Essential tremor should be suspected in adult patients of any age who present with symmetric postural action tremors of the hands (with or without tremors in other areas) but with no frank cerebellar, pyramidal, or extrapyramidal (parkinsonian) signs.

	Dr. Koop - Familial tremor
		Familial tremor is a neurologic disorder that tends to run in families, involving involuntary shaking (tremors) that typically gets worse when the affected person tries to move or become more active.
		There is overlap between essential tremor, which may occur as an isolated case but may also run in families, and familial tremor, which affects more than one person in a family.
		A familial tremor is usually a relatively benign condition, affecting movement or voice quality but seldom having any other effects.

	BCM-Neurology-Parkinson's Disease Center and Movement Disorders-Essential Tremor
		In contrast to rest tremor, which is most frequently due to Parkinson's disease, essential tremor (ET) is typically an action-postural tremor, present usually in the hands when arms are outstretched in front of the body or when hands are held palm down in front the face (the so called wing-beating position).
		The "postural tremor" seen in many patients with PD may represent an enhanced physiologic tremor, co-existent ET, or a re-emergent rest tremor, with the same frequency and clinical characteristics as the typical rest tremor.
		ET-like tremor occurs in other genetic diseases, such as Kennedy's disease, also called "X-linked recessive spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy", which is due to a mutation characterized by expansion of CAG repeats in the gene on the X chromosome.
