    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric neurology
    • Sleep medicine
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Growing pains are a common, yet under-researched, cause of distress in children.
    • A potential link between growing pains and the painful form of restless legs syndrome has been suggested but not confirmed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between growing pains and restless legs syndrome.
    • To determine if growing pains and restless legs syndrome are identical conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Case study of a family with a history of growing pains and restless legs syndrome.
    • Clinical observation of symptoms across multiple generations.

    Main Results:

    • The mother experienced growing pains from childhood into adulthood, an unusual presentation.

  • The mother also exhibited classic symptoms of restless legs syndrome.
  • Three sons in the family presented with severe growing pains.

    • Conclusions:

    • The observed family characteristics suggest that growing pains and restless legs syndrome are distinct conditions.
    • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the differences and potential underlying mechanisms.
