Well known people with tremor include: Samuel Adams, Magnus Berg, Oliver Cromwell, Katharine Hepburn, and Eugene O'Neill.
Recognized for centuries, essential tremor and tremor related neurological movement disorders afflict millions of children, adults, and next generations, yet little is known about the etiology.
TAN works to inform policy makers, healthcare professionals, and the media about the quality of life challenges faced by those with movement disorders. Essential tremor and tremor related neurological movement disorders cause abnormal involuntary muscle movements and contractions that affect major life activities.
Tremor Action Network provides one-on-one services, support and guidance to patients, family members, and caregivers through information, resources, and volunteer advocates.
TAN is Shaking the World to Find a Cure for essential tremor and tremor related neurological movement disorders in the following ways:
Diagnosis and treatment options
Specialist referrals
Clinical trials and studies
Research news and updates
FAPE education rights and responsibilities
ADA disability rights
SSI and SSDI eligibility
Movement Disorders Awareness: Quality of Life video

New York Institute Of Technology Essential Tremor Study
Predisposing genetic factors remain unknown for the vast majority of individuals with Essential Tremor. A team at the New York Institute of Technology has developed a novel genetic testing platform for uncovering genetic variants responsible for ET predisposition. We are currently recruiting individuals with ET who are willing to complete a brief questionnaire and provide a cheek swab or saliva sample for entry into this research study. No on-site visit is required. If you have any interest in contributing to this research or any questions regarding this study please contact the principal investigator, Dr. David Tegay, at (516) 686-3897 or by e-mail at: dtegay@nyit.edu
