Validity of Self-Report Information on Cranial Tremors in Essential Tremor: Analysis of Data from a Large, Prospective Cohort
We provide the only data we are aware of on the validity of self-reported cranial tremors in ET. Self-reports were a poor screen to ascertain cranial tremors; however, if a case did report these tremors, the information was likely to be valid. These data emphasize the importance of a thorough neurological examination. Although this requires a greater investment of time/resources, it reduces the number of false negatives.
