What is RLS?

RLS, or Restless Legs Syndrome, is a condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, which can make it difficult to fall or stay asleep. It affects anywhere between 5-10% of adults in the US and is more likely found in women over men. RLS may be caused by a variety of factors such as genetics, certain medications, and other health conditions.

Common Signs/Symptoms of RLS

The signs/symptoms of RLS can be difficult to describe. It is characterized by an irresistible urge to move one’s legs to relieve the discomfort, which can make it hard to relax and can disturb one’s sleep.

Here are some words/phrases commonly used by patients with RLS to describe their feelings:

Symptoms typically are triggered when the patient is resting or inactive and only occur, or significantly worsen, in the evening and at night. Symptoms may be temporarily relieved by moving the affected body part.

How is RLS Diagnosed?

RLS is diagnosed based on clinical symptoms. Blood tests and a thorough review of medical history and medications is conducted by your healthcare provider to rule out other factors that may be impacting RLS. Sleep studies may aid in the diagnosis of RLS but is not required to make the diagnosis.

How is RLS Treated?

Treatment of RLS is multifactorial and involves medications, lifestyle changes, or both and depends on the individual case. It is important to diagnose and appropriately treat RLS to reduce negative consequences such as poor quality of life, sleep interferences, discomfort, and pain.
