Aim:
To describe clinical, biochemical and electrophysiological profile in Indian patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.
Material And Methods:
A total of 84 patients with sleep disorders were evaluated. Eight patients were diagnosed to have RLS. All underwent series of hematological, biochemical investigations and electrophysiological studies. Severity was assessed before and after specific treatment
Results:
Eight patients presenting with clinical features of RLS formed the study group. The mean age was 51.6 +/- 13.8 years. The male : female ratio was 7:1. Six cases were primary and two were of secondary type of RLS. Seven patients reported significant improvement in symptoms after treatment
Conclusion:
RLS can be diagnosed purely on clinical criteria; and appropriate treatment results in significant relief. Thus, the recognition of this entity is essential.
