Description
Summary:[...]the main objective of our systematic literature review was to conduct a literature search about tremor-control devices using standardized criteria regarding efficacy and comfort in patients diagnosed with essential tremor (ET). In order to study the effectiveness of tremor-suppression devices in ET, the functional impairment should ideally be studied at home, or at least, in a friendly environment, either in a natural/casual setting or under carefully-controlled circumstances in the lab, for a certain amount of time, to reduce tremor fluctuations due to confusing factors (pharmacological treatment effects, anxiety, etc.).
