My hands shake: classification and treatment of tremor

David Williams talks about what GPs need to know about how to assess, investigate and treat patients who present with tremor. In particular, a detailed history and observation is vital to distinguish resting from action tremor and look for other clinical clues to the diagnosis. Investigation should include basic biochemistry in all cases. David discusses the clinical features and management of physiologic, essential, dystonic, parkinsonian, cerebellar, drug induced and psychogenic tremor.
