Overview

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), alternatively referred to as Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a neurological disorder distinguished by distressing leg sensations accompanied by an intense desire to initiate leg movements. Movement-induced symptoms such as tingling, itching, or aching are frequently alleviated by extending or walking for those with RLS. These sensations commonly manifest during periods of rest, particularly in the evening or at night, resulting in sleep disturbances and challenges in initiating sleep. Although the precise etiology of RLS remains uncertain, it is hypothesized that it is influenced by both genetic and environmental components. Specific medical conditions, including pregnancy, iron deficiency, kidney failure, and diabetes, has the potential to worsen or contribute to the symptoms of RLS. Clinical symptoms are sufficient to diagnose RLS; no specific test exists to corroborate the condition. Alterations in lifestyle, the administration of medications, and the management of any underlying medical conditions are all potential treatments. It is critical that individuals afflicted with RLS symptoms seek the advice of a healthcare professional in order to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
