I have jaw tremor. Seems to be a resting tremor, Tremors are thought to be supressed by muscular action. Chewing gum works forme.

Chewing gum works very well for jaw tremors. Some brands work better than others

[attyj]

Thanks. Any recommendations on brands?

Since nicotine has been shown to be an effective PD therapy why not try nicoderm?

Nicotine may relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease

"Two elderly patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with nicotine gum and patch. Reliable changes in symptomatology were noted, using a single-subject, placebo-control reversal design. Improvement was associated with active nicotine dosing and involved diminished tremor and disorganized thinking in one patient and diminished bradykinesia and increased energy in the other."

The following study noted that chewing nicotine gum had a lesser effect on PD symptoms than actually smoking a cigarette.

Effects of smoking in patients with early-onset Parkinson's disease.

Researchers developed nicotine patches because the effects of short term doses of nicotine in PD are transient. Never-the-less, I think it is worth a try.

Does your jaw tremor cause any additional stiffness in your neck or headaches, or eye strain? Do you find it goes away temporarily after exercising?

[attyj in reply to Hidden]

No additional stiffness or headaches. I'm trying chewing gum now.

With resting jaw (palatal) tremor I found poking my tongue between my teeth helped!! But at night in bed I could not maintain this AND sleep. I eventually decided to try a baby dummy and it works for me. I have 3 tremors - PD, Atrial Fibrillation & Essential Benign Tremor. The baby dummy seems to only work with EBT.

Chewing gum is the good solution, try Sugar free " ORBIT " or you can try whole wheat, this also gives chewing gum effect or cardamom outer sheath, it is fibrous , lasts longer like chewing gum
