Benign familial tremor, also known as essential tremor, is characterized by symptoms that can include head and voice tremors (B) and intention tremor (D), which worsens with movement towards a target. Essential tremor is also known to often respond well to beta blocker drugs (E), which can relieve symptoms.

Essential tremor primarily affects actions (action tremor), whereas Parkinson's disease is known for its resting tremors.
