【 摘 要 】

We deeply appreciate the comments provided by López-Blanco et al. regarding our recent publication entitled “Tremor Control Devices for Essential Tremor: A Systematic Literature Review.”1 We basically agree with the aspects highlighted by these authors; however, we would like to discuss them briefly. First, the main objective of our systematic literature review was to conduct a literature search about tremor-control devices using standardized criteria regarding efficacy and comfort in patients diagnosed with essential tremor (ET). We did not include computer software/hardware to control kinetic tremor by using the mouse of a PC, because the scientific literature supporting this technology have included patients with multiple sclerosis exclusively.2,3 We also excluded websites that did not include peer-review literature supporting effectiveness.
