Overview

Shaking, also known as tremors, is an involuntary and rhythmic shaking movement that can affect various parts of the body, most commonly the hands, arms, and head. This condition can occur at rest or during movement and may significantly impact daily living, particularly affecting tasks that require fine motor skills.

Diagnosis

Diagnosing the cause of shaking involves a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional. This typically includes:

• A detailed medical history and physical examination
• Neurological examination

Treatment

Treatment for shaking depends on the underlying cause and may include:
