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
