<<Tremor Guidelines: Diagnosis of Essential Tremor Committee
The Diann Shaddox Foundation is a part of the Tremor Guideline Committee. The diagnosis of Essential Tremor (ET) remains a clinical diagnosis, as there are no validated diagnostic markers for ET. The aim of this committee is to re-evaluate the available tools to aid in the diagnosis of ET. The goal is to provide a more data-driven and empirically-driven approach to diagnosing ET (based on or guided by observation, experiment, or experience). best distinguish ET from other tremor disorders
<<Clinical Trials Research
We have established strategic alliances with leading organizations that specialize in clinical trials. These partnerships leverage cutting-edge research methodologies and technologies to drive innovation in healthcare. By collaborating with experts at the forefront of clinical research, we aim to facilitate groundbreaking studies that could lead to the development of novel treatments for Essential Tremor disease. Our efforts focus on improving patient outcomes by ensuring that new therapies are not only effective but also tailored to meet the diverse needs of patients. Through this transformative research, we are committed to making significant advancements in the field of medicine for Essential Tremor disease.
Advancements in research, smartphones, applications, and wearable devices.
<<Assessing the intensity of tremor Research
Assessing the intensity of tremors is crucial for understanding their severity and impact on individuals. This measurement can provide valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment planning in Essential Tremor, and other movement disorders. Various methods and tools, including clinical rating scales and accelerometers, are used to quantify tremor intensity, enabling healthcare professionals to tailor effective interventions.
Telemedicine involves the use of electronic information and communication technologies to provide and support healthcare when distance separates participants. It utilizes telecommunications technology to deliver healthcare services remotely, overcoming geographical barriers and offering greater flexibility in accessing medical care.
Data Research
<<Healthcare Data Research
We are actively pursuing an extensive effort to collect a diverse range of information from healthcare experts. Our goal is to delve deeply into the great number of challenges faced by patients, illuminating their experiences and struggles. We aspire to uncover profound insights that will empower us to refine and elevate the support we provide to individuals in need, ultimately transforming their healthcare journey.
<<Population Data Research
We are currently working on a system to gather data regarding the population affected by Essential Tremor Disease. This endeavor aims to enhance our understanding of the prevalence and impact of the condition on individuals and their communities. By systematically gathering and analyzing this information, we seek to provide valuable insights that can inform future research, intervention strategies, and support initiatives for those impacted by ET.

Research Studies on exercise, nutrition, gait, and speech. These studies aim to explore the relationships and impacts of these factors on overall health and well-being. Exercise research examines the benefits of physical activity on various aspects of health. Nutrition studies investigate the role of diet in maintaining optimal health. Gait analysis focuses on how movement patterns can influence functional mobility and injury prevention, and speech research seeks to enhance our understanding of communication disorders and their treatments. Together, these fields contribute significantly to our knowledge of Essential Tremor disease health and performance.
