Tag: Tremor treatment

Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, affecting an estimated 7 to 10 million people in the United States [1.8.2, 1.9.3]. While traditional drugs are available, the search for a more effective new medication for tremors continues with several promising candidates in development.

While essential tremor is one of the most common movement disorders, managing its symptoms can be challenging, with pharmacologic treatment often proving unsatisfactory. For some individuals, the anticonvulsant medication gabapentin is used as a second-line, off-label option to help control tremors.
