TRMR: A Tremor Guide

TRMR helps you understand your tremor, learn what the treatment options really involve, and connect with the movement disorder neurologists and functional neurosurgeons who treat it near you. Tremor is common and has many causes, and the differences between them are not obvious from the outside. It can show up in the hands, but also in the head, the voice, the jaw, or the legs, and where it appears is one of the things that tells the causes apart. This app explains what those causes are, how doctors tell them apart, what the treatments actually involve, and how to reach the movement disorder neurologists and functional neurosurgeons who treat it near you. CONDITIONS, EXPLAINED PLAINLY Essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, dystonic tremor, drug-induced tremor, enhanced physiologic tremor and others: what each one is, which parts of the body it tends to affect, what typically sets it apart, and what a doctor looks for. TREATMENTS, START TO FINISH From watchful waiting and medication through focused ultrasound and deep brain stimulation. What each option actually does, who it tends to suit, what recovery looks like, and the questions worth asking before you agree to anything. THE PATH TO SPECIALIST CARE The referral steps in order, from primary care to general neurology to a movement disorder specialist to a surgical evaluation. What happens at each stage, how long it usually takes, and what to bring. LIVING WITH TREMOR Practical adjustments for eating, writing, dressing, speaking, working, and asking for help without giving up independence. PREPARE FOR YOUR VISIT Answer a plain-language questionnaire covering when it started, what makes it better or worse, family history, and medications. The app organizes your answers into a summary you can read back before the appointment, so the details you meant to mention do not get lost in the room. CONNECT WITH A SPECIALIST NEAR YOU Browse United States academic medical centers with movement disorder programs — the neurologists who manage tremor medically and the functional neurosurgeons who perform focused ultrasound and deep brain stimulation — sorted by distance if you allow location access. Listings are informational, not an endorsement and not a referral. WHAT IT IS NOT TRMR is an educational resource. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose any condition, it does not measure, rate, or assess your tremor, and it is not a substitute for a physician. Nothing in it should be used to decide whether to start, stop, or change a treatment. Only a clinician who examines you can diagnose or treat you. YOUR PRIVACY - Your questionnaire answers and the visit summary built from them stay on your iPhone, stored encrypted. - The app does not transmit your health information anywhere. Sharing it means you print it or email it yourself, to a doctor you choose. - Location, if you allow it, is used only to sort the center directory by distance. It is never stored or sent anywhere. - "Delete all my data" clears everything the app has kept on your phone. - No advertising, no tracking, no third-party analytics. BUILT FOR OLDER EYES AND HANDS Large type that respects your text-size setting, high contrast, generous spacing, big tap targets, full VoiceOver support, and a linear flow you cannot get lost in. THE SCIENCE The condition definitions follow the 2018 MDS Consensus Statement on the Classification of Tremors. Treatment descriptions cite the published evidence behind them. Every claim links to its source, and the app is explicit about what it cannot tell you. If you may be having a medical emergency, call 911.
