Clonidine in essential tremor: preliminary observations from an open trial
Abstract
The authors present ten cases of essential tremor, studied before and after administration of clonidine with clinical tests and electrophysiological recordings. Improvement due to the desynchronizing effect of clonidine on tremor was observed in all cases. Possible mechanisms acting on the central and peripheral nervous system are discussed.
