Medication Adherence in Chinese Patients with Essential Tremor: A Real World Study
Medication adherence among Chinese essential tremor (ET) patients remains suboptimal (only 27.4% in our cohort). ET plus patients showed higher adherence (32.2%) than pure ET (19.0%). Predictors of adherence included severe tremor (TETRAS-II), urban residence, and head tremor. Arotinolol was the predominant treatment. Findings emphasize the need for personalized interventions.
