This article introduces the Consensus Statement on the Classification of Tremors published by the Task Force of the International Parkinson's and Movement Disorder Society in 2018, highlighting the problems in the classification and proposing several suggestions, such as redefining essential tremor, emphasizing the importance of severity in classifying and diagnosing tremors, and establishing rules for creating a hierarchy of terminology.
The Consensus Statement on the Classification of Tremors, from the Task Force of the International Parkinson's and Movement Disorder Society was published in 2018 in response to advances in the understanding of essential tremor (ET), tremor associated with dystonia and other monosymptomatic and indeterminate tremors. This was a revision of the previous 1998 Consensus Statement. A number of problems arise from this classification and, in this manuscript, we highlight several of these. These problems relate to the definition of tremor, the definition of ET, the proposal of the term 'essential tremor plus', issues related to orthostatic tremor (OT) including the proposal of the term 'orthostatic tremor plus', and the absence of a hierarchy of terms used to classify tremor. Among the proposals we make is that the definition of tremor should acknowledge that tremor is a symptom, ET should be redefined, severity is an important characteristic for classifying and diagnosing tremor, the terms 'essential tremor plus' and 'orthostatic tremor plus' should be abandoned, and classification of tremor requires rules for creating a hierarchy of terminology.This article is part of the Special Issue Tremor edited by Daniel D. Truong, Mark Hallett, and Aasef Shaikh.
