Essential tremor, commonly abbreviated as ET and also known as benign essential tremor, familial tremor, and idiopathic tremor, is a neurological disorder affecting millions worldwide. It’s characterized by involuntary and rhythmic shaking, often most noticeable in the hands.
Despite its prevalence, ET remains a misunderstood condition. It’s often confused with Parkinson’s disease, although they are distinct conditions. The exact cause of ET is unknown, but it’s believed to involve a genetic mutation in many cases.
