"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 550 responses, which are very valuable in determining future paths for study. These findings are being refined into a shorter and more focused follow-up survey that will be coming soon. "
