Key Takeaways
Essential tremor, also referred to as familial or benign tremor, is a neurological disorder that involves shaking of the hands, arms, vocal cords, or the head. It often begins gradually and gets worse over time. The shaking usually worsens during voluntary activities such as eating, drinking, writing, or writing.
