What is a Tremor?
A tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic shaking of a part of the body – most commonly the hands, head, voice, or legs. While tremor can be a normal response to anxiety or fatigue, persistent or worsening tremors may be a sign of an underlying neurological condition that requires assessment by a specialist.
Tremor syndromes

How we diagnose tremor syndromes
- In-depth neurological examination focused on tremor pattern, frequency and triggers
- Video analysis and clinical scoring if needed
- Blood tests to rule out metabolic causes
- Brain imaging (MRI or DaTscan) where appropriate
- Electrophysiological testing such as EMG (in selected cases)
