Proof of concept, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with d-methadone proposed for the first time for use in the treatment of patients diagnosed with primary, moderate to very severe Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Its glutamatergic mechanism of action might be effective on RLS arousal pattern and sleep disturbance which highly impair the quality of life of RLS's patients.
