📋Overview
Hereditary Benign Tremor is a legacy term commonly used to describe what is now known as Essential Tremor (ET). Essential Tremor is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, rhythmic shaking, typically affecting the hands and arms, and sometimes the head, voice, or other body parts. It is considered benign because it is not life-threatening and does not cause progressive neurological damage, though it can impact quality of life. The condition often runs in families, indicating a genetic component.
