[…] In medically refractory cases of ET, injections of Botulinum Toxin-A in the tremorogenic muscles (preferably under electromyographic guidance for selecting the muscles) may be useful. The injection has been shown to be useful for limb, head, and voice tremor. […] Surgical treatment for ET is reserved for those selected patients who have severe tremor not adequately controlled by medical therapy.

In summary, ET is a disorder, which can lead to a significant morbidity in some patients, especially functional disability. The approach to management should be guided by the severity of tremor, the parts of the body involved, occupation of the patient, and physical and social disability.
