Understanding RLS Syndrome Symptoms

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations.

Common Symptoms of RLS Syndrome

• Sensations: Individuals with RLS often describe sensations such as throbbing, pulling, creeping, or itching in their legs.
• Discomfort: The symptoms of RLS usually worsen during periods of inactivity, leading to discomfort that can interfere with sleep.
• Motor Restlessness: Some people with RLS experience involuntary leg movements, such as kicking or jerking, especially at night.

Diagnosing RLS Syndrome

Diagnosing RLS can be challenging due to the subjective nature of symptoms. Healthcare providers often rely on a thorough medical history and physical examination to make an accurate diagnosis.

Treatment Options for RLS Syndrome

Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatment for RLS may include lifestyle modifications, such as adopting good sleep habits, as well as medications to alleviate discomfort and improve sleep quality.
