What causes tremors after head injury?
Patient: Hi! So, my friend this last fall got a concussion during Volleyball season because while we were putting things away after practice she got hit in the head. Ever since, she shakes constantly. She has what people call a tremor in her hands and sometimes other parts of her body. It only stops when she touches something. Shes worried shes messed up in her head. I think it s something else. Care to shed some light for me please? Doctor: Hello,   Tremors after a head injury are indicative of TBI, traumatic brain injury or Neurological problems developing.  She needs to get physically examined, get done EEG, MRI, CT, Neurocognitive tests & Nerve conduction tests, nerve biopsy. Get assessed & evaluated.  Her treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. Damage to the mid brain may cause Parkinson disease. Closed head injuries cause tremors.  She may be treated with medications, but if a response is not good she may require surgery.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
