Inclusion Criteria

Patients presenting a continuous Parkinsonian resting or postural tremor, essential tremor, Holmes tremor or cerebellar Tremor

Exclusion Criteria

Seizures, implants consisting metal, cardiac defibrillator, implants of the inner ear, pumps containing medication, alcohol and drug addiction, other psychiatric diseases (esp. depression).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Tremor analysis is used to quantify the tremor amplitude and frequency. A comparison of tremor amplitude and frequency before and after the rTMS intervention, we can analyze if a frequency modulation had taken place and if a reduction of tremor amplitude occurs.
