Today, there is no cure for essential tremor. But it's not for lack of trying. For years researchers have been searching for the cause of this life-altering condition, so tailored treatments could be made available to the millions of people around the world who are affected.
Each year the IETF funds critical essential tremor research, helping inch us closer to the answers we need. But we can't do it without your help. 100% of every dollar you donate to the IETF research fund goes to scientific research being conducted right now; research that may lead to better treatment options and maybe even a cure in the not-so-distant future.

Today essential tremor is incurable. But with your support, it doesn't always have to be. Donate to research.
