Causes and treatment of head tremor

Common causes of head tremor in patients include idiopathic tremor, a movement disorder also known as primary tremor, the exact cause of which is unclear and may be related to genetic predisposition. It is usually chronic in onset, progresses relatively slowly, and most do not result in disability in patients. No specific treatment is required for milder symptoms, and in severe cases oral propranolol or thalamic disruption may be performed. Patients may also have postural and motor tremors in one hand and forearm, as well as tremors in the lower extremities, without other positive neurological signs, without increased muscle tone, etc. If there is Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s syndrome, head tremor can also occur. Parkinson’s disease can be treated with oral levodopa and Parkinson’s syndrome with symptomatic treatment.
