Tremor Treatment in New Delhi

Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.

Overview

Tremor is involuntary rhythmic shaking, most often of the hands. Essential tremor is the most common cause and is distinct from Parkinson's disease, although the two are frequently confused.

Accurate classification matters: it determines treatment and prognosis. Many tremors respond very well to medication, and lifestyle adjustments can substantially reduce the day-to-day impact on writing, eating and other fine tasks.

Tremor of head or voice
Tremor worsened by stress or caffeine
Difficulty with fine tasks like buttoning

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Essential tremor occurs with action (holding or writing) while Parkinson's tremor is at rest. Treatments differ significantly.

Most tremors improve significantly with medication. Severe cases may benefit from focused ultrasound or deep brain stimulation.

Essential tremor often temporarily improves with alcohol — but this is not a recommended treatment.

Essential tremor often progresses slowly over years but is rarely disabling with proper treatment.
