Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a type of movement disorders that is often associated with a sleep complaint and generally involving the limbs. Persons who suffer from RLS may report unpleasant ill-defined sensations, such as strong not painful urge to move the legs, crawling, creeping, pulling, itching, drawing, or stretching, forceful bothering inner pressure in legs, uncomfortable treading of legs when they lie down for sleep. These intolerable sensations are relieved by movement of the legs or by walking. The feeling usually is bilateral and the arms are rarely involved. Recently, Lang et al. reported Restless Genitalia syndrome (Lang et al. JAMA neural Oct 6 2014).
