- Definition(s)
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder of the part of the nervous system that affects movements of the legs. Because it usually interferes with sleep, it also is considered a sleep disorder.
* People with RLS have strange sensations in their legs (and sometimes arms) and an irresistible urge to move their legs to relieve the sensations.
* The sensations are difficult to describe: they are not painful, but an uncomfortable, "itchy," "pins and needles," or "creepy crawly" feeling deep in the legs.
* The sensations are usually worse at rest, especially when lying in bed.
* The sensations lead to walking discomfort, sleep deprivation, and stress. WebMD, Inc.

- Symptomatic restless legs syndrome may occur secondary to iron deficiency, anemia, folate deficiency, uremia, thyroid problems, diabetes, or peripheral neuropathy. - WE MOVE
by - Restless legs syndrome may be triggered by peripheral neuropathy or radiculopathy, but a distinction should be made between these disorders. In pure peripheral neuropathy and radiculopathy, patients do not have the compelling need to move to relieve leg discomfort and the symptoms are not consistently worse at rest or at night. - EMIS & PiP
by - Restless legs syndrome can begin at any age and generally worsens as you get older. Women are more likely than men to develop this condition. Restless legs syndrome can disrupt sleep — leading to daytime drowsiness — and make travelling difficult. - Mayo Foundation for Medical Education

by Mihaela Petrican - Sindromul picioarelor nelinistite (SPN) este o afectiune destul de frecventa, dar de obicei trecuta cu vederea, afectand atat miscarea cat si somnul. Persoanele cu SPN prezinta o senzatie neplacuta la nivelul picioarelor si o tendinta nestapanita de a le misca.
Desi afectiunea a fost recunoscuta inca de la inceputul secolului al saptesprezecelea, ea a fost descrisa prima data in 1945, de neurologul suedez, Karl-Axel Ekbom. Uneori mai este denumit sindromul Ekbom. - medical journal
