Neurological Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) Treatment

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder in which there is an urge or need to move the legs to stop unpleasant sensations.

RLS leads to sensations in the lower legs that make you uncomfortable unless you move your legs. Usually these sensations occur at night when you lie down, or sometimes during the day when you sit for long periods of time. Symptoms may be worse during stress or emotional upset.

There is no known cure for restless leg syndrome. Treatment is aimed at reducing stress and helping the muscles relax.
