Several physical therapy interventions, such as electrical stimulation, exercises, transcranial low voltage pulsed electromagnetic fields, weights, and virtual reality showed promising results in reducing hand tremors. However, this evidence was based on a limited number of included studies, and more RCTs with larger sample sizes are required to confirm the efficacy of these interventions.
