Clinical Trial Summary

In pregnancy Restless Legs Syndrome(RLS) is more common than in the general population. During pregnancy iron tablets are the only available safe medication but their efficacy is rather poor. It is the aim of this study to examine the efficacy, practicability and safety of the drug Ferinject® containing the active agent Ferric carboxymaltose for the therapy of Restless Legs Syndrome(RLS) during pregnancy in the case of iron deficiency or anaemia.

20 women with RLS and iron deficiency and/ or anaemia in the third trimester of pregnancy will receive intravenous Ferric carboxymaltose in one or two single doses. Repeated blood tests, pre-and post-therapy actigraphy as well as repeated answering of questionnaires concerning Restless Legs Syndrome(RLS)-symptoms and sleep quality will show the effect of iv-Iron supplementation on Restless Legs Syndrome(RLS)-symptoms during pregnancy.
