Abstract

Aim: Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most com- mon movement disorders. Facial emotion recogniti- on (FER) is one of the most fundamental aspects of emotional functioning and is one of the most critical components of social behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate facial emotion recognition skills in ET patients and to compare them with healthy controls. Methods: Twenty-one consecutive patients aged between 18-55 years with classic ET who were admit- ted to our neurology outpatient clinic and 22 age and sex matched healthy controls were included in the study. Demographic data were recorded. All patients and controls underwent the same FER test. Results: Of the patient group, 13 were female and 9 were male. The mean age of the patient group was 9.97 ± 9.77. The mean age of the control group was 17.36 ± 8.36 and 17 were female and 5 were male. No significant difference was found between the pa- tient and control groups in terms of age and gender (p = 0.06, p = 0.19). The recognition of joy and fear was decreased in ET patients compared to controls (p = 0.025, p = 0.00). When subgroups were combi- ned, there was no statistically significant difference between the ET patients and controls in terms of FER (p = 0.66). Conclusion: Our study shows that fear and joy recog- nition is impaired in ET patients, but it does not make a significant difference in FER when evaluated with all subgroups. Detailed studies are required to be performed with functional neuroimagings in larger patient groups.

Özet

Amaç: Esansiyel tremor (ET) en sık görülen hareket bozukluklarından biridir. Yüz duygu tanıma (YDT), duygusal işlevin en temel yönlerinden biridir ve sos- yal davranışların en kritik bileşenlerindendir. Bu ça- lışmanın amacı ET hastalarında yüz duygu tanıma becerilerinin değerlendirilmesi ve sağlıklı kontrollerle karşılaştırılmasıdır. Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza hastanemiz nöroloji polik- liniğine başvuran ve klasik ET tanısı alan 18-55 yaş arası ardışık 22 hasta ve yaş ve cinsiyet açısından eş- leştirilmiş 22 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edildi. Demogrofik veriler kaydedildi. Tüm hasta ve kontrollere aynı YDT testi uygulandı. Bulgular: Hasta grubunun 13’ü kadın 9’u erkek olup yaş ortalaması 28,95 ± 9,77 idi. Kontrol grubunun 17’si kadın 5’i erkek olup yaş ortalaması 34,36 ± 8.36 idi. Hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında yaş ve cinsi- yet açısından anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p= 0.06, p= 0.19). ET hastalarında kontrollere göre sevinç ve korkunun tanınması azalmıştı (p= 0.025, p= 0.00). Alt gruplar birleştirildiğinde YDT açısından ET hastaları ve kontroller arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmedi (p=0.66). Sonuç: Çalışmamız ET hastalarında korku ve sevinç tanımanın bozulduğunu ancak tüm alt gruplarıyla değerlendirildiğinde YDT’ de anlamlı fark oluşturma- dığını göstermektedir. Daha geniş hasta gruplarında fonksiyonel görüntülemelerle birlikte yapılacak de- taylı araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
