We examined 100 alcoholics who had had no alcohol for more than 21 days, 100 controls, and 50 patients with essential tremor. Three percent of the controls and 47% of the alcoholics had a postural tremor. Alcoholic tremor was never severe, and functional disability occurred in only 17% of patients. There was no relation to age or duration of drinking, and only 1% of the alcoholics had a family history of tremor compared with 46% in essential tremor. Tremor frequency was significantly greater in the alcoholics than in essential tremor. Propranolol therapy decreased tremor more in the alcoholics than in essential tremor. The tremor of chronic alcoholism differs from essential tremor.
我们研究了100名已戒酒超过21天的酗酒者、100名对照者以及50名特发性震颤患者。3%的对照者和47%的酗酒者存在姿势性震颤。酗酒性震颤从不严重，仅17%的患者出现功能障碍。这与年龄或饮酒时长无关，只有1%的酗酒者有震颤家族史，而特发性震颤患者中这一比例为46%。酗酒者的震颤频率显著高于特发性震颤患者。普萘洛尔治疗对酗酒者震颤的缓解程度大于特发性震颤患者。慢性酒精中毒性震颤与特发性震颤不同。
