[Pathophysiology of tremor].
Der Nervenarzt 2018 April
Tremor is clinically defined as a rhythmic, oscillating movement of parts of the body, which functionally leads to impairment of the coordination and execution of targeted movements. It can be a symptom of a primary disease, such as resting tremor in Parkinson's disease or occur as an independent disease, such as essential or orthostatic tremor. For the development of tremor, cerebral components as well as mechanisms at the spinal and muscular level play an important role. This review presents the results of new imaging and electrophysiological studies that have led to important advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of tremor. We discuss pathophysiological models for the development of resting tremor in Parkinson's disease, essential and orthostatic tremor. We describe recent developments starting from the classical generator model, with an onset of pathological oscillations in distinct cerebral regions, to a network perspective in which tremor arises and spreads through existing anatomical or newly emerged pathological brain networks. In particular translational approaches are presented and discussed. These could serve in the future as a basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies.
