Brief Summary

Essential tremor (TE) is the most common abnormal movement of the adult. His diagnosis is based on a bundle of clinical arguments (Movement Disorders Society, 1998). Well characterized in the adult, little data is available concerning child. The objective of this work is (1) to define the demographic and clinical characteristics of the TE of children and adolescents, (2) to determine the electrophysiological characteristics in the child, (3) evaluate the functional impact of TE, and assess the functional impact of TE, and assess the current management modalities of TE in children and adolescent.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 3 Years - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Subject whose age is between 3 and 18 years
• Subject affiliated to a social security scheme
• Diagnosis of essential tremor established according to the diagnostic criteria of the Movement Disorders Society (1998), by a neuropediatrician or a neurologist, specialist in abnormal movements. The diagnosis is based on the presence of the following criteria: bilateral action tremor of the hands and forearms, absence of other neurological signs.

You may not qualify if:

• Abnormal neurological examination outside tremor
• Family history or personal dysthyroidism
• Existence of a global psychomotor or motor developmental delay
• Taking medication that may induce tremor
• known poisoning by heavy metals, bismuth, mercury, methyl bromide
• Severe appearance of the tremor
• Tremor suggestive of a psychogenic origin
• Abnormal or non-existent brain MRI if family case
