International Essential Tremor Foundation

Essential tremor is a neurological condition that causes a rhythmic trembling of the hands, head, voice, legs or trunk. It is often confused with Parkinson’s disease although essential tremor is eight times more common, affecting an estimated 7 to 10 million Americans and millions more worldwide.

The IETF is Your Voice for Essential Tremor. Through awareness, education, support and research, the IETF is making the world better for people with ET as we work toward finding the safest, most effective treatments and a cure. 

The mission of the International Essential Tremor Foundation is to provide hope to the essential tremor (ET) community worldwide through awareness, education, support and research.
