ABSTRACT

Six patients with essential tremor tested in the therapeutic effectiveness of a 6-carbon alcohol, methylpentynol, 200 mg/day, against placebo in a randomised double-blind clinical cross-over trial. The effect of methylpentynol on postural tremor amplitude was not different from that of placebo.
