What Are the Treatments for Essential Tremors?
Essential tremor is a nervous system disease that causes trembling, most commonly in the hands, although it can affect any part of the body, according to MayoClinic.com. It usually is not a dangerous condition but can worsen as a person ages until it becomes quite severe. Essential tremor is most common in people over 40. The shaking caused by essential tremor usually begins gradually in the hands and worsens with movement. Treatments can help reduce the shaking.
