The Department of Neurology at the University of Miami (Miami, FL) is conducting a research study on the brain mechanisms of Essential Tremor(ET). You may be eligible if you have been diagnosed with ET and have hand tremors. The research involves brain imaging using MRI. Participants will undergo a neurological examination and psychological testing as a part of the study. In addition, participants will be required to drink one serving of alcohol during the study which may cause intoxication. The study will involve up to three visits lasting a total of up to 9 hours. If you are interested in participating, please contact Mr. Prantik Kundu at 305-243-5827.
American Academy of Neurology 2009 Essential Tremor Survey Poster
"Many of the features of essential tremor (ET) remain unknown. Ideally, better treatments could be made available and the issues of slowing or stopping progression could be addressed if more was understood about ET. This website survey received 542 responses, which are very valuable in determining future paths for study. These findings are being refined into a more focused follow-up survey that will be coming soon. "
