Tremors

The most common movement disorder is the Tremor. Tremor Foundations provides an overview of the underpinnings of tremor as a symptom and disease, while The Family of Tremors presents the full extended range of tremor presentations. Tremor in the Clinic reviews the growing knowledge range of clinical topics in tremors, including advances in assessing tremor and holistic treatment approaches. This text is useful for practicing clinicians, students, and researchers focusing on movement disorders and those living with tremor.

The most prevalent movement disorder is tremor. The field of tremor pathophysiology, etiology, and treatment development is far from being intractable, despite the vast amount of work that remains to be done. On the contrary, this is a dynamic and rich research area that is certain to continue its rapid growth. Tremors brings together experts in the field to explore the underlying causes of neurological tremors and recent clinical advancements in treatment models. This volume is organized into the following sections:
1. Tremor Foundations: This section provides a comprehensive overview of tremor as a symptom and disease. Recent developments in our understanding of tremor pathology, pathophysiology, and genetics, facilitated by groundbreaking discoveries using neuroimaging techniques, offer glimpses into future breakthroughs.
2. The Family of Tremors: This section presents a comprehensive range of tremor presentations, encompassing isolated tremors, tremor as one of several features of a neurological disorder, and other hyperkinetic movement phenotypes that are often referred to as tremors, mimicking or framed as tremors.
3. Tremor in the Clinic: This section reviews the growing knowledge base of clinical topics related to tremors. Advances in assessing tremor have brought pathophysiology concepts into clinical practice, ushering in an active era of new therapeutic development. Clinical research in tremors now encompasses more holistic treatment approaches, novel treatment modalities, and diversity and inclusivity, all of which are likely to feed back into basic etiology and pathophysiology research of this common movement disorder.
4. Tremors as a Useful Text: Tremors will be a valuable resource for practicing clinicians, students, and researchers specializing in movement disorders, as well as individuals living with tremor who wish to learn more about their condition.
