Overview
Tremor (Rashah) The word Rashah means shaking or trembling. Since in this disease the muscles of the patient’s hands and arms tremble, it is called “Rashah” (tremor). In some patients, this involuntary movement may also occur in other parts of the body, such as the eyebrows, leg muscles, and the muscles on the upper part of the feet, etc. In this disease, the cells in the substantia nigra region of the midbrain stop functioning properly. The function of these cells is to produce dopamine in the brain, resulting in a decrease in dopamine levels in the brain. Dopamine produced by these cells is transmitted to another part of the brain called the striatum. When there is not a sufficient amount of dopamine in the striatum, it cannot function properly, which leads to the symptoms of tremor. The function of the striatum is to coordinate with other parts of the brain to maintain normal body movements. When this coordination is disrupted due to dopamine deficiency, symptoms of tremor (Rashah) begin to appear.
