How to treat orthostatic tremor – Cohort study and systematic review
Pharmacological treatment is sufficient in some patients, although overall efficacy is limited and often accompanied by adverse effects. Perampanel and clonazepam are first choice treatments. Surgical interventions seem suitable alternatives for medication resistant patients, although this is based on small studies. Future studies should use diagnostic criteria, standardized outcome scales and good study designs, to increase reliability of findings and comparability.
