The most common symptoms of restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder include:
Unpleasant sensations in the lower limbs when going to sleep are quite common. Restless legs syndrome (RLS), where the legs feel uncomfortable and painful at rest, can disturb sleep and the symptoms typically ease when moving the legs. RLS can make it difficult to fall asleep and, in the worst case, lead to severe insomnia.
Restless legs symptoms also occur as a secondary symptom associated with some diseases or medications. The most typical diseases or conditions that increase the risk of RLS are iron deficiency, kidney failure, certain neurological disorders and pregnancy. For example, tiring antihistamines and certain antidepressants can provoke RLS symptoms.
People with restless legs may also experience periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS) during sleep. In periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), the movements of the limbs during sleep are frequent and can disturb sleep and cause daytime fatigue.
Although RLS and PLMD often occur simultaneously, they are separate disorders which have their own diagnoses.
If the symptoms are mild and do not interfere with sleep, no medication is needed. All you need to do is to avoid factors that aggravate the symptoms. Symptoms can be worsened or triggered by factors such as caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, certain medications (like some antidepressants and allergy medications), and intense physical activity in the evening. Restless legs can be treated with certain medicines that affect the central nervous system, and iron medication can improve the quality of life of people with iron deficiency. Restless legs syndrome can also be associated with other conditions, such as iron deficiency, kidney failure, or neurological disorders. If the symptoms are bothersome, it is important to discuss them with a doctor to determine the cause and rule out other underlying conditions.
Treatment of restless legs symptoms may include lifestyle changes and medications that can help to control the symptoms and improve the quality of sleep.
You can alleviate symptoms of restless legs through the following methods:
To diagnose restless legs syndrome, it's good to find out the underlying causes so that the symptoms can be treated correctly.
Seek treatment if:
The restless legs symptoms last for more than three weeks, occurring several nights a week, and your own attempts to correct the situation do not help.
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Deep exhaustion and weakness that does not improve with rest.
Fatigue
Many people experience occasional fatigue. Energy levels are influenced by lifestyle, health and many external factors.
Insomnia
Being stressed and busy daily can make it difficult to calm down, which, in turn, will affect sleep.
Narcolepsy
Excessive daytime sleepiness and episodes of suddenly falling asleep may be caused by narcolepsy.
Other sleep disorders
Sleep disorders include restless legs and the rarer disorders of narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome and various parasomnias.
Sleep apnoea
Narrowing of the airways and relaxation of the muscles during sleep can lead to pauses in breathing.
Snoring
Noise during sleep is caused by a narrowing of the airway.
CPAP therapy
Positive airway pressure ventilation effectively reduces sleep apnoea symptoms and improves the quality of life.
Sleep apnea examination, night polygraphy
A reliable at-home examination to diagnose and assess the severity of sleep apnoea.
Sleep apnoea oral appliance
A treatment especially for mild sleep apnoea.
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that causes an irresistible urge to move your legs. This urge is caused by unpleasant sensations such as tingling, burning or stinging, which usually get worse when at rest, especially in the evening and at night. The symptoms are typically relieved by movement, such as walking or shaking your feet.
Treatment of restless legs symptoms may include lifestyle changes and medications that can help to control the symptoms and improve the quality of sleep.
Treatment may include:
It is important to consult your physician before starting any treatment to ensure that the treatment is safe and appropriate for your individual needs. Your physician can also help you to identify possible underlying causes, such as iron deficiency or other conditions that may affect your symptoms.
The treatment of restless legs syndrome starts with a thorough survey of the patient's symptoms, after which further examinations, such as laboratory tests or a sleep registration study, can be carried out, depending on the situation.
The treatment of restless legs syndrome begins with an initial examination for sleep disorders, in which the patient's symptoms are thoroughly assessed. The price of an initial examination for sleep disorders varies from specialist to specialist. You can see each specialist's price for the initial examination for sleep disorders in our online appointment booking service. Thanks to our flexible payment methods, you can also pay for this examination in instalments, for example. Learn more about our payment methods.
