          • 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.

          • Definition(s)
            • El síndrome de las piernas inquietas (o RLS, por sus siglas en inglés) es un trastorno neurológico caracterizado por sensaciones desagradables en las piernas y un impulso incontrolable de moverse cuando se está descansando, en un esfuerzo para aliviar estas sensaciones. Las personas a menudo describen las sensaciones del RLS como quemantes, como si algo se les jalara o se les deslizara, o como si insectos treparan por el interior de sus piernas. Estas sensaciones, a menudo llamadas parestesias (sensaciones anormales) o disestesias (sensaciones anormales desagradables), varían en gravedad de desagradables a irritantes, a dolorosas.
