Description
Rachel Pakan and co-authors published this 2024 study on long-term health after COVID-19 in people with essential tremor. Essential tremor causes shaking that patients live with for years. The virus has been tied to worse outcomes in other brain disorders, but its effect on this group was unclear. The team compared patients who caught the virus with those who did not.
The study covered 1,074 patients in one New York health system, with records into mid-2023. Patients who had COVID-19 started with more diabetes, depression, and anxiety. After infection, their risk ran higher for heart events, new sleep trouble, fatigue, and shortness of breath. First falls and new anxiety also rose sharply. The results argue for closer follow-up of tremor patients after infection.
