A therapeutic approach and objective test in the treatment of tremor.

Medical treatment of tremor is deceptive. The biochemical disturbance causing its appearance is not known, so that no specific treatment can be applied. Many substances have been proposed for their antitremulant properties, but clinical results must be interpreted with caution as tremor is a labile symptom which is under many influences. The authors have analysed the clinical effect of an interesting antitremulant drug and have reported an original method for measuring tremor.
