The tremor can then be classified by which position most accentuates the tremor:

Treatment
There is no cure for most tremors. The appropriate treatment depends on accurate diagnosis of the cause. Some tremors respond to treatment of the underlying condition. For example, in some cases of psychogenic tremor, treating the patients underlying psychological problem may cause the tremor to disappear. A few medications can help relieve symptoms temporarily. Medications
Medications remain the basis of therapy in many cases. Symptomatic drug therapy is available for several forms of tremor:
Parkinsonian tremor drug treatment involves L-DOPA or dopamine-like drugs such as pergolide, bromocriptine and ropinirole; They can be dangerous, however, as they may cause symptoms such as tardive dyskinesia, akathisia, clonus, and in rare instances tardive (late developing) psychosis. Other drugs used to lessen parkinsonian tremor include amantadine and anticholinergic drugs like benztropine
Essential tremor may be treated with beta blockers (such as propranolol and nadolol) or  primidone, an anticonvulsant
Cerebellar tremor symptoms may decrease with the application of alcohol (ethanol) or benzodiazepine medications, both of which carry some risk of dependence or addiction
Rubral tremor patients may receive some relief using L-DOPA or anticholinergic drugs. Surgery may be helpful
Dystonic tremor may respond to diazepam, anticholinergic drugs, and intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is also prescribed to treat voice and head tremors and several movement disorders
Primary orthostatic tremor sometimes is treated with a combination of diazepam and primidone. Gabapentin provides relief in some cases
Enhanced physiological tremor is usually reversible once the cause is corrected.
This resting tremor, which can occur as an isolated symptom or be seen in other disorders, is often a precursor to Parkinsons disease (more than 25 percent of patients with Parkinsons disease have an associated action tremor). The tremor, which is classically seen as a "pill-rolling" action of the hands that may also affect the chin, lips, legs, and trunk, can be markedly increased by stress or emotion. Onset is generally after age 60. Movement starts in one limb or on one side of the body and usually progresses to include the other side. The tremors frequency is between 4 and 6 Hz. Physiological tremor occurs in every normal individual and has no clinical significance. It is rarely visible and may be heightened by strong emotion (such as anxiety or fear), physical exhaustion, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, heavy metal poisoning, stimulants, alcohol withdrawal or fever. It can be seen in all voluntary muscle groups and can be detected by extending the arms and placing a piece of paper on top of the hands. Enhanced physiological tremor is a strengthening of physiological tremor to more visible levels. It is generally not caused by a neurological disease but by reaction to certain drugs, alcohol withdrawal, or medical conditions including an overactive thyroid and hypoglycemia. It is usually reversible once the cause is corrected. This tremor classically has a frequency of about 10 Hz. Psychogenic tremor (also called hysterical tremor and functional tremor) can occur at rest or during postural or kinetic movement.
