BackgroundPatients with essential tremor were initially considered to have isolated tremor, but additional motor and non-motor features have been increasingly recognized. The term "essential tremor plus" was adopted by the Task Force on Tremor of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society to describe essential tremor patients with additional neurologic signs.ObjectivesTo characterize essential tremor patients and their phenotypes in a movement disorders clinic population in the context of the new tremor classification.MethodsDemographic, clinical, historical, treatment, and diagnostic data were retrospectively collected on 300 patients diagnosed by movement disorder experts with essential tremor. Patients were classified as having essential tremor, essential tremor plus, or essential tremor-Parkinson's disease combination, and features between these groups were compared.ResultsOf the 300 patients, 20.7% were classified as isolated essential tremor, 53.3% as essential tremor plus, and 26.0% as essential tremor-Parkinson's disease. There was no significant difference in the duration of tremor symptoms. Essential tremor plus patients were more likely to have dystonia, tandem gait abnormalities, head tremor and greater tremor severity. Essential tremor-Parkinson's disease patients were more likely to have RBD symptoms. There was no significant difference in cognitive impairment between essential tremor plus and essential tremor-Parkinson's disease patients.ConclusionsAdditional motor and non-motor features, including parkinsonism, are common in patients with essential tremor. Further studies are needed to clarify essential tremor phenotypes and to provide insights into possible subtypes.Highlights300 patients with essential tremor from a movement disorders clinic were re-classified based on the Movement Disorder Society Consensus Statement on the Classification of Tremors. Additional motor and non-motor features, including parkinsonism, were common, and only 20.7% of patients remained classified as isolated essential tremor.
