Research project funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to study vocal tremor in Essential Tremor patients, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment.
Description
This project aims to evaluate whether different voice tremor types are separate disorders or part of the same Essential Tremor (ET) spectrum by measuring tremor in speech structures and arms. The results will improve classification criteria, assessment methods, and treatment planning. The research addresses a prevalent movement disorder affecting millions, aiming to refine diagnostic criteria and improve patient outcomes.
