Essential tremor, one of the most common types of tremor, is a neurological disease that causes rhythmic tremors in various parts of the body. Although these types of tremor complaints are seen in younger patients, almost half of them are familial and can be transmitted to children in a hereditary way. Essential tremor is one of the most common movement disorders in the world and is 10 times more common than Parkinson's disease. Hand and head tremors, which are seen in 4 out of 100 people over the age of 40 in our country, are caused by this disease.
