Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me the difference between essential tremor and primary tremor?Doctor's answer:
Essential tremor is a common movement disorder, primarily manifesting in body parts such as the hands and head. The primary tremor commonly referred to as essential tremor is indeed the same as essential tremor, which is a chromosomal genetic disease. The likelihood of this condition resolving on its own is particularly low, and it can only be managed with long-term relief. In the majority of patients, only a small number require hospital treatment. Some patients can effectively control the condition with medication. If medication is not effective, stereotactic surgery may be necessary.
