ET is 8X more common than PD and effects approximately 10 million people in the United States4.
Essential tremor (ET) is a neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable and rhythmic shaking or trembling in one or more parts of the body while in use, unlike Parkinson’s disease (PD) where shaking generally occurs during rest1-3.
Tremor in the hands can impair the ability to eat, shave, write, and perform household activities and functions in the workplace. Many people with ET are too embarrassed to go out in public and remain isolated in their homes, which can lead to depression3.

Smart Energy System
Few effective prescription medications are available for treating ET. Between 30% to 50% of npatients do not respond to either first line pharmacological agents: propanol and primidone.
Due to the aging population, the number of individuals with ET is expected to experience annual double digit growth.
