Ecological Momentary Assessment in Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome
The Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder better characterized by an urge to move the legs at rest. Although treatments are available, many patients experience periods of symptoms relief and exacerbation. Whether this is due to the natural history of the disease or to health-related behaviors of daily …
Observe Change in Nasal Swab DRD2 Gene Expression in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Patients on Prolonged Dopamine Agonist Treatment
The study aims to observe changes in dopaminergic genes expression in peripheral tissue upon prolonged dopamine agonist treatment on patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Similar studies in Parkinson's disease have shown changes in alpha-synuclein expression, which might offer insights into the dopaminergic gene regulation seen in RLS. The dopamine …
Using Cannabis to Treat Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes painful and uncomfortable sensations in the legs, and its symptoms have a significant impact on sleep and quality of life. Cannabis has been used by some RLS patients as a treatment due to its painkilling and drowsiness effects, however there has …
Functional Connectivity of the Interoceptive Network in RLS
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder primarily characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs while at rest. A key hypothesis suggests that RLS symptoms are linked to abnormal brain function in processing internally generated stimuli, particularly interoception. This distorted perception of the internal bodily state leads …
Blood Changes After Exercise in Restless Legs Syndrome
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how exercise changes molecules in the blood in people with restless legs syndrome (RLS) to better understand the cause(s) of RLS. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: How does long-term exercise change proteins in the blood? How does …
Prevalence and Characteristics of Restless Leg Syndrome in Thai Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by pathologic intraneuronal alpha-synuclein-positive Lewy bodies and neuronal cell loss. The cardinal clinical symptoms and signs of PD are bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, postural instability, and freezing attacks. The prevalence of PD increases with age, affecting 1-2% of the population over the …
Evaluating the Effects of Tasimelteon Vs. Placebo in Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD) and the CRY1Δ11 Variant
This is a double-blind, randomized, two-period crossover study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of tasimelteon and matching placebo in male and female subjects with DSWPD and the CRY1Δ11 variant.
Analysis of Sympathetic Activity in Willis-Ekbom Disease
Willis-Ekbom disease (WED), also known as restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological sensorimotor disorder that typically impairs sleep and quality of life, likely consequent to a central dopaminergic dysfunction associated to brain iron deficiency. Periodic limb movements (PLMS) in sleep are present in 80% of patients with WED. …
The Effects of Naturalistic Light on Post Stroke Complications Related Brain Areas in Stroke Patients During Admission for Rehabilitation.
Background Light is the most important regulator of circadian rhythm. Naturalistic light, which contains the spectrum of sunlight throughout the day, has been shown to have a positive impact on mental states such as depression and fatigue in stroke and other diseases requiring long-term hospitalization. Depression and fatigue are very …
The Suggested Immobilization Test With Exploratory Heart Rate Variability Analysis for Diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is not uncommon and can also affect people's health and quality of life. Mainly, RLS is diagnosed based on clinical criteria subjectively. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between RLS and mimickers, especially in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes or parkinson's disease. We believe that …
