Essential Tremor Disorder (EDM352)

Essential Tremor Disorder

EDM number 352 in 2009-10, proposed by Mark Williams on 03/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Health services.

That this House acknowledges the difficulties faced by those diagnosed with essential tremor, an involuntary shaking or trembling of part of the body; notes that it is one of the most common neurological diseases, affecting approximately four per cent. of those aged 40 years or over, and the most common form of tremor; further acknowledges that while many can live happy, healthy lives despite the disorder, it can cause significant problems for the remainder in carrying out their daily routine; welcomes the support given to sufferers by the National Tremor Foundation in the UK; further notes the lack of research into this condition; and believes that greater recognition of essential tremor would help to improve treatment and public understanding.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
