Filter by:Prospective multi-site randomized sham-controlled study evaluating tolerability and efficacy of noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) for patients with moderate-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) who are either medication-naive or medication-refractory.
Multi-center, prospective open-label extension study of noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) with the NTX100 Neuromodulation System for patients with medication-refractory moderate- severe primary RLS
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by an urge to move the legs at night when at rest. RLS can lead to a sleep deprivation, increased falling risk, daytime sleepiness, depression and decreased quality of life. Dopamine agonists, alpha-2-delta ligands and opiates are key medications for RLS. The natural course of RLS is very heterogeneous with a risk of increasing the severity of symptoms over the years despite the use of drugs and recommended dosages. Many comorbidities can make RLS worse. Augmentation syndrome is the main complication of dopamine agonists. However, only a few studies have addressed the clinical, biological and pharmacological factors associated with the evolution of the severity of RLS. The objective of this study is to assess the evolution of RLS symptoms severity as function of RLS phenotype, comorbidities and RLS medication, in large cohort of members of the French RLS association and other European RLS association.
The tVNS-PP trial investigates the effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) on autonomic functions, immune responses, and disease severity in chronic pain and restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients as compared to healthy controls.
The investigators recently observed that up to 25% of women with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) have moderate to severe Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). In this study, the investigators aim to estimate the prevalence of RLS among women with ALD and to assess whether pramipexole improves RLS symptoms as well as sleep and gait measures in women with ALD.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor, sleep-related disorder characterized by urgency to move the legs during inactivity or resting state. Although the exact mechanism is not clearly understood, sleep disturbances and dopamine deficiency may regarded as a potential contributing factor for autonomic dysfunction. The objective of the study is to evaluate autonomic functions and determine possible associations between autonomic dysfunction with clinical factors in patients with RLS.
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.
