Frequency of tremor in people with multiple sclerosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder causing various symptoms, including tremors, which significantly affect the quality of life and disability in people with MS (PwMS). Previous studies report a wide range of tremor frequency in PwMS, necessitating a comprehensive review for reliable estimates.

Objectives

This review aimed to elucidate the frequency rate of tremor among PwMS.

Method

A systematic search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science up to April 27, 2024, to identify studies evaluating various types of tremors in PwMS. The Meta-proportion method implemented in R software version 4.0.0, utilizing a random-effects model, was employed to estimate the pooled frequency rates of tremor, with its 95%
