Tremor is often a disabling symptom in various neurological diseases. Even though the majority of these are incurable, there is at least a possibility of symptomatic management of tremor in a high number of patients. A conservative approach consisting in pharmacotherapy is always the first choice; however, it is of little effect in a not insignificant number of patients with tremor. In a proportion of these patients, surgical treatment is the method of choice. Currently, the method of deep brain stimulation is used most widely, but some promising results of non-invasive lesion techniques have also become available.

Keywords: tremor, surgical treatment, deep brain stimulation, essential tremor, tremor in Parkinson's disease, non-invasive lesion techniques.
