Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurology doctor. How is benign essential tremor treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the treatment for essential tremor primarily includes pharmacological treatment and other treatments (thalamotomy, deep brain stimulation). Botulinum toxin can also be used for anesthetic treatment. Currently, pharmacological treatment is the main clinical diagnostic and therapeutic method. Pharmacological treatment primarily includes propranolol, starting with a low dose of 10 milligrams, twice daily, gradually increasing, generally not exceeding 90 milligrams per day. Alpha-blockers, primidone, and other drugs are also used to treat essential tremor. Other medications such as clonazepam and diazepam are also effective for essential tremor.
