对31例因各种原因引起的意向性震颤患者进行了意向性震颤测量。记录了不同量的铅对肢体震颤量的影响。结论是，简单的治疗方法可能是有益的，一种客观的测量意图性震颤的方法克服了这类临床试验的许多困难。所描述的方法产生可量化的数据，这些数据可以进行统计分析，以帮助克服可变性的问题。由于练习或疲劳效应导致的结果偏差已被证明可以忽略不计。铅的最佳用量通常在600至840克之间。
Thirty-one patients with intention tremor due to a variety of causes were subjected to measurements of their intention tremor. The effect of varying amounts of lead weights on the amount of limb tremor recorded was noted. It is concluded that simple methods of treatment may be of benefit, and that an objective method of measuring intention tremor overcomes many of the difficulties of a clinical trial of this type. The method described yields quantifiable data which can be subjected to statistical analysis to help overcome the problem of variability. Bias in the results due to practice or fatigue effects has proved negligible. An optimum amount of lead, which was usually between 600 and 840 g, has been noted.
