Filter by:Backgraund and Purpose: The prevalance of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in pregnants varies between 15.4-26.0 percent. As well as pharmacological methods, there are studies reporting that non-pharmacological methods reduce RLS symptoms but the number of studies conducted with pregnants is limited. This study was conducted to determine the effect of hot water application to the legs of pregnants with RLS on their complaints. Materials and methods: The study is a pretest-posttest randomised controlled. Among the pregnants whose IRLS score was more than 11, 13 people to the intervention group and 16 people to the control group were randomised. The data were collected using Personal Information Form, International RLS Study Group Diagnostic Criteria, and the International RLS Rating Scale (IRLS). Hot water application was made of intervention group. The application was made for 20 minutes before bedtime for seven days. No application was made in the control group other than routine care and follow-up. Chi-square test, descriptive statistics and dependent/independent samples t tests were used to assess the data. The value of p<0.05 was accepted as significant.
Multi-center, prospective double-blind randomized controlled pivotal study of noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) with the NTX100 Neuromodulation System for patients with medication-refractory moderate-severe primary RLS
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a sensory-motor problem characterized by an uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling that causes a strong and overwhelming desire to move the legs, usually during periods of inactivity during sleep.It is reported that pregnancy is an important risk factor in the onset and worsening of RLS.Individuals with RLS avoid social activities, often experience psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic sleep disorders. Therefore, restless leg syndrome significantly affects daily life and coping with these problems. Individuals with RLS initially undertake a variety of non-pharmacological practices to relieve symptoms.Progressive muscle relaxation exercises, reducing the level of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood and heart rate, reducing oxygen consumption, regulating metabolic rate, lowering blood pressure, reducing muscle tension, preventing fatigue and restlessness, decreasing pain by increasing endorphin levels, increasing coping with pain and stress, It has many benefits such as improving sleep and quality of life.This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise training and follow-up given to pregnant women with restless leg syndrome on the severity of restless leg syndrome, quality of life associated with restless legs syndrome, and sleep quality.
The aim of this study is to describe and compare the anaesthesia history and possible problems encountered in 3 groups of patients with 3 chronic sleep diseases: narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, and restless legs syndrome followed at the Montpellier Sleep Unit. For each participant, existing data from the medical record will be used, with their consent. All participants will complete a standardized questionnaire, concerning their history of anaesthesia, the course and possible complications, and questions about their treatment for their sleep disorder.
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a very common neurological condition characterized by an uncontrollable desire to move the legs. Due to the traumatic effect of RLS on morbidity, the patient is negatively affected in many different directions. The duration and quality of sleep of the patients decrease, and their cognitive functions change. The prevalence or risk of anxiety and depression increases in this population. At the same time, the quality of life of patients is significantly reduced. Among the different pharmacological agents used in RLS, dopamine agonists are the most widely used. However, the reporting of serious and common side effects related to this treatment has led to non-pharmacological approaches in the treatment of RLS and the effectiveness of many different approaches has been investigated. The exercise approach, which is determined to be effective in the treatment of the disease, is a subject that has been little studied. The type, duration and frequency of optimal exercise could not be standardized. In addition, the effect of exercise on RLS patients has been investigated in limited subjects. For this reason, the aim of our study is to examine the effect of different exercise programs on symptoms, sleep, cognitive functions, quality of life, psychological status and fatigue in patients with RLS.
The investigators aim to determine the effect of suvorexant on actigraphically-derived total sleep time in patients with effectively treated restless legs syndrome with persistent insomnia in a two-arm, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled crossover 2.5-month trial.
Prospective multi-site randomized sham-controlled crossover feasibility study evaluating tolerability and efficacy of noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) for patients with moderate-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Response to NPNS investigational device was compared to sham control in a 2x2 crossover design such that subjects were assigned to receive 2 weeks of NPNS and 2 weeks of sham, in randomized order.
Prospective open-label single-arm feasibility study assessing the tolerability of opioid medication reduction in conjunction with noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) for patients taking prescription opioids to treat moderate-severe primary RLS.
The restless leg syndrome (RLS) is among the most common problems for the individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD) therapy. This randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine the effect of the massage, applied with 5% lavender oil for the individuals receiving HD therapy, in the first half of HD session three times a week for four weeks on both legs for 10 minutes in each leg, on severity of RLS and quality of life. The study was completed with 58 patients including 31 people in the intervention group and 27 people in the placebo control group, in 7 hemodialysis centers located in a city center. The ethics committee approval, informed consent of the individuals and the institutional permission were obtained. The data were collected using the patient information form, RLS Severity Rating Scale, Kidney Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (KDQOLTM-36) and patient follow-up charts. In accordance with the massage application protocol, those in the intervention group were massaged with lavender oil and those in the placebo group were massaged with baby oil. Chi-square test, t test, repeated measures one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis tests were used to assess the data. In the comparisons, the value of p<0.05 was accepted as significant.
The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of aerobic exercises and strength training exercise on RLS severity in diabetic patient. Randomized controlled trials done at Physical therapy department of Pakistan Railway general hospital, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 38.The subjects were divided into two groups, 19 subjects in the aerobic physical therapy group and in 19 strength group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was Simple randomization via computer-generated random numbers. Only 40-60 years individual with restless leg syndrome in 5 years old diabetic history included. Tools used in the study are International Restless Leg Syndrome Study Group Rating Scale: (an International tool for finding the severity of RLS), The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Data was be analyzed through SPSS 21.
