Essential tremor

Among neurological diseases, essential head tremor is quite common. It is caused not only by neuropsychiatric disorders, but also by a hereditary predisposition. With this disease, involuntary rhythmic contractions of the cervical and facial muscles occur, as a result of which the head begins to tremble.

Symptoms of essential head tremor are most often found in older people, although young people are also not immune to this pathology.

• Single initial nodding movements of the head
• Gradually, head tremors become constant
• No head tremors at rest or during sleep
• When attempting to voluntarily stop tremors, tremors intensify
• With psychological overstrain, a significant increase in tremors is observed
• Gradually, the facial muscles and tongue muscles are involved in the pathological process.

These symptoms of essential head tremors can increase over several years, causing a lot of inconvenience to the sick person.
