Tremor is one of the common movement disorders worldwide. In the recent classification tremor has been classified into two axes (I and II). Based on axis I feature tremor can be classified as isolated and combined tremor syndrome. Common tremor syndromes include Parkinsonism-associated tremors, essential tremor including essential tremor plus, dystonic tremors, and others. Tremor may also occur secondary to demyelinating, infectious and inflammatory diseases, and stroke. Adequate management of tremor has been an unmet need in clinical practice. Most of the anti-tremor medications have limited efficacy and are. associated with undesirable adverse effects, especially in elderly patients. Several studies have reported good outcomes with the use of botulinum neurotoxin for the treatment of tremor and it has emerged as a useful therapeutic option in tremor syndromes refractory to pharmacological agents. This review describes the role of botulinum neurotoxin in different tremor conditions. This article is part of the Special Issue "Tremor" edited by Daniel D. Truong, Mark Hallett, and Aasef Shaikh.

Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most prevalent nerve-related movement disorders, most commonly affecting the hands during voluntary movements or while maintaining posture. Unlike tremors in neurodegenerative conditions, ET is not observed at rest. Continued research is essential to optimize treatment strategies and address the unmet need for sustainable, patient-centered therapies that minimize side effects and enhance long-term quality of life (QoL) for individuals with ET.

Aim: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) present with both motor and non-motor symptoms, and understanding the interplay between these symptoms is crucial for individualized patient care. This study aims to investigate the relationship between motor features and non-motor symptoms in patients with de novo PD.
Methods: A total of 105 patients were analyzed, focusing on motor subtypes or subscores and their impact on cognition, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and dysautonomia.

Rationale: Psychogenic tremor (PT) is the most common subtype of psychogenic movement disorder, characterized by involuntary movement, and is usually related to occupational injuries or accidents. Psychogenic movement disorder falls under the category of functional neurological disorders, which are diagnosed based on the criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Patient Concerns: A 25-year-old Saudi male with a history of recurrent superior ventricular tachycardia presented to the emergency department with tremors affecting all his extremities for 8 days.
