11 Surveys of >400 ET patients across the US highlight ongoing hidden burden of ET and associated challenges in managing everyday life Praxis data on file. The Essential Tremor Patient Research was conducted by Fuel Insights (www.fuelinsights.com) from June-July 2024. Two separate surveys were completed online and included 150 US adults living with ET and a further 261 US adults living with ET who were pre-screened, but did not qualify, for the Essential3 study (https://essential3study.com/) ET burden has a profound impact on daily activities Patients with ET experience high psychosocial burden Nearly all patients with ET experience a level of psychosocial burden, with many reporting feeling: ET is inadequately managed and undertreated Up to 80% working / attending social events writing drinking from a glass frustratedworried Up to 77% Up to 50% of patients do not feel their ET symptoms are manageable with current treatments of patients are not receiving treatment for their ET of patients with ET reported needing to adjust how they complete daily tasks due to their symptoms Top Challenges: ashamed sad hopeless


 
12 US neurologists emphasize the need for more effective treatments and the importance of patient-physician dialogue in ET Praxis data on file. The Essential Tremor HCP Research was conducted by Fuel Insights (www.fuelinsights.com) in April 2024. The survey was fielded at the American Academy of Neurology meeting and included 152 neurologists who treat ET in the US, and who were primarily affiliated with academic centers. ET burden has a profound impact on daily activities Patients with ET experience high psychosocial burden ET is inadequately managed and undertreated 60% of neurologists reported mental and emotional challenges among the top three challenges for their ET patients 40% >90% of patients seen by neurologists are not receiving treatment of neurologists stated their patients’ descriptions of their ET symptoms and impact on daily activities influence treatment decisions 85% of neurologist visits are for patients seeking ET treatment Nearly 1/2 of neurologists rarely refer ET patients for specialist management
