Essential tremor vs. Parkinson's disease. Many people associate tremors with Parkinson's disease, but the two conditions differ in key ways: Timing of tremors. Essential tremor of the hands usually occurs when using the hands. Tremors from Parkinson's disease are most noticeable when the hands are at the sides of the body or resting in the lap.

This study demonstrates that gabapentin improves rigidity, bradykinesia, and tremor of parkinsonism including both Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's syndrome. The rigidity and bradykinesia of parkinsonism improve on the drug even when the effects of gabapentin on tremor are discounted.
For action (including postural) tremors: Essential tremor For resting tremors: Parkinson disease For intention tremors: Cerebellar dysfunction (eg, due to a
Because gabapentin may be effective for the treatment of essential tremor, [10] we elected to analyze the effect of gabapentin on the tremor-related items of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (16, 20, and 21) separately and the drug effect on the Scale without these items to see the effect on parkinsonism tremor and on parkinsonism with the feature of tremor removed.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that gabapentin improves rigidity, bradykinesia, and tremor of parkinsonism including both Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's syndrome. The rigidity and bradykinesia of parkinsonism improve on the drug even when the effects of gabapentin on tremor are discounted.
