Sensory trick with metoclopramide-associated tardive tremor.

ABSTRACT: Tardive tremor is a 3-5 Hz bilateral resting and action tremor, associated with the use of dopamine receptor blocking drugs, accompanied by other tardive movement disorders and responsive to tetrabenazine or clozapine. We describe a case of a sensory trick associated with tardive tremor which raises important points about semiology and management. First, the presence of a sensory trick with tardive limb tremor suggests that the disorder may be a form of dystonia. Second, further study of osteopathic manipulative therapy for treatment of dystonia or tardive tremor is supported by a symptomatic response observed in our case.
