| Abstract | "Human beings, under certain circumstances, may develop repetitive and oscillatory movements (i.e., tremors) [1]. Indeed, one may find evidence of this phenomenon across the ancient world. For example, in Ayurvedic medicine, a system that developed in India approximately 3,000 years ago, the word "kampa" denoted tremor, and "kampavata" was an imbalance due to tremor [1, 2]. In the Edwin Smith Surgical papyrus, a medical-surgical case-based text that dates back at least to the middle Kingdom in Egypt, hieroglyphs denoting tremor or shuddering were used numerous times [1] (Figure 1). In Greece, the Aphorisms of Hippocrates contain the following reference to tremor - "when tremors occur in ardent fevers, they are terminated by delirium" [1]"-- Provided by publisher |
