Essential Tremor, Cervical Dystonia
Neurophysiologic Study of Patient With Essential Tremor and Dystonic Tremor
Background: Essential tremor is when a person has tremor, but no other neurological symptoms. Dystonic tremor is when a person also has dystonia. Dystonia is a condition in which muscle contraction causes changes in posture.
