Editing Tremor (section)

===Medications===
Medications remain the basis of therapy in many cases. Symptomatic drug therapy is available for several forms of tremor:{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}<ref>{{Cite journal |date=July 2011 |title=Guidelines for management of essential tremor |pmc=3152172 |last1=Pal |first1=P.

* '''Parkinsonian tremor''' drug treatment involves [[L-DOPA]] or dopamine-like drugs such as [[pergolide]], [[bromocriptine]] and [[ropinirole]]; They can be dangerous, however, as they may cause symptoms such as [[tardive dyskinesia]], [[akathisia]], [[clonus]], and in rare instances tardive (late developing) psychosis. Other drugs used to lessen parkinsonian tremor include [[amantadine]] and [[anticholinergic]] drugs like [[benztropine]]
* '''Essential tremor''' may be treated with [[beta blocker]]s (such as [[propranolol]] and [[nadolol]]) or  [[primidone]], an [[anticonvulsant]]
* '''Cerebellar tremor''' symptoms may decrease with the application of alcohol (ethanol) or benzodiazepine medications, both of which carry some risk of dependence or addiction
* '''Rubral tremor''' patients may receive some relief using [[L-DOPA]] or [[anticholinergic]] drugs. Surgery may be helpful
* '''Dystonic tremor''' may respond to [[diazepam]], anticholinergic drugs, and intramuscular injections of [[botulinum toxin]]. Botulinum toxin is also prescribed to treat voice and head tremors and several movement disorders
* '''Primary orthostatic tremor''' sometimes is treated with a combination of [[diazepam]] and [[primidone]]. Gabapentin provides relief in some cases
* '''Enhanced physiological tremor''' is usually reversible once the cause is corrected. If symptomatic treatment is needed, [[beta blocker]]s can be used
