 Restless legs syndrome RLS, or Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a neurologic disorder causing unpleasant sensations and an urge to move the legs when the person is at rest. The sensations are relieved by movement. Loss of sleep associated with RLS can cause extreme fatigue, affecting concentration, which may produce anxiety and depression, resulting in a poor quality of life. Prevalence in the general population is 5 to 10. In approximately 3, symptoms are so severe that treatment is sought. Potent drugs, such as opioids, central nervous system depressants, anticonvulsants, and dopamine agonists have been used to ease symptoms, each with several side effects.
