OBJECTIVE Children and adolescents with restless legs syndrome (RLS) are commonly diagnosed with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and behavioral disturbances. Uncertainty exists over the significance of other co-occurring psychiatric disorders and their pharmacologic management in children with RLS. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and nature of psychia...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and sleep disturbances are common among in-center hemodialysis patients and are associated with increased morbidity/mortality. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The FREEDOM study is an ongoing prospective cohort study investigating the benefits of home short daily hemodialysis (SDHD) (6 times/week). In this interim report, we ...

Cluster headache (CH) is among the most painful headache disorders. There is still no unifying pathophysiological hypothesis to explain the trigeminal distribution, the circadian periodicity and the autonomic symptoms of the syndrome. We report the case of a patient with worsening of CH following administration of pramipexole for a restless legs syndrome (RLS). This observation supports the hyp...

Introduction: Previous studies suggested an association between MS and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Data on the prevalence of RLS in Austrian patients influence disease-modifying therapies (DMT) are lacking.Objective: To investigate (1) Austria compared to control persons (CP), (2) risk factors for MS, (3) DMTs and/or severity.Methods: Adult CP were screened by face-to-face interviews, includi...

BACKGROUND The neuroanatomic substrate of restless legs syndrome (RLS) is poorly understood, and the diagnosis is clinically made based upon subjective sensory symptoms, although a motor component is usually present. CASE REPORT We report two cases of elderly patients with spinal pathology who were referred by neurologists for myoclonus. Both had semi-rhythmic leg movements that partially imp...

Background and Aim: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a prevalent neurological disease that frequently misdiagnosed due to comparable signs symptoms other disorders such as diabetes, migraine, cardiovascular disease. RLS may deteriorate with age, it more frequent in women than males. The incidence of varies from 6.6% 80% the general population. present study aimed assess patients on hemodialysis....

AIM To investigate the association between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and well-defined chronic liver disease, and the possible therapeutic options. METHODS Two hundred and eleven patients with chronic liver disease, complaining of sleep disturbances, painful leg sensation and daily sleepiness, were included. Patients with persistent alcohol intake, recent worsening of clinical conditions, o...

as repetitive and regular involuntary movement. It occurs primarily in the legs during sleep and usually consists of foot dorsiflexion and less often flexion at the knee or the hip. PLMS occurs 10-20% of general population and most prevalently in restless legs syndrome (RLS), which accounts for 80-90% of cases, but these movements can co-occur with a variety of sleep, medical, and neurological ...
