  2. RLS Defined

  3. Primary & Secondary RLS Primary RLS • No apparent cause, except perhaps genetic predisposition1-3 • Severe cases appear to be a chronic condition4 • Since many patients do not seek treatment, little is known about the clinical course in milder and intermittent cases4 Secondary RLS • Associated with iron deficiency,5,6 end-stage renal disease,7 and pregnancy8 • May remit on resolution of the causative condition (eg, after pregnancy)9 • Allen RP, et al. Sleep Med. 2002;3:S3-S7. • Garcia-Borreguero D, et al. Neurology. 2003;61(6 suppl 3):S49-S55. • Desautels A, et al.

  4. RLS Genetics: Familial Patterns

  5. RLS Prevalence in a Primary Care Population

  6. 25 Ohayon (2002) Rothdach (2000) Phillips (2000) 20 Lavigne (1994) Berger (2004) Ulfberg (2001) 15 % of Patients With RLS 10 5 0 18-29 30-49 50-79 ≥80 Age (years) RLS Prevalence by Age

  7. RLS is Often Undiagnosed

  8. Impact on QOL: RLS Patients vs the General Population

  9. RLS Impact on QOL Resembles the Impact of Major Diseases 100 Moderate to Severe RLS Patients US (n = 158) Patients in the General Population with: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n = 541) Osteoarthritis (n = 175) Depression (n = 502) 80 60 Mean Score 40 20 0 Physical Role Physical Bodily Pain General Energy/ Social Role Mental Health Functioning Health Vitality Functioning Emotional SF-36 Health Survey Domain Adapted from Allen RP, et al. Arch Intern Med. 2005;165:1286-1292.

  10. Most Troublesome RLS Symptoms Rated by Patients

  11. Some Informal Clues to the Diagnosis

  12. RLS Essential Diagnostic Criteria • Urge to move legs, usually accompanied by uncomfortable leg sensations • Worsening of symptoms at rest or with inactivity, such as when lying or sitting • Worsening of symptoms in the evening and at night • Relief with movement —partial or total relief from discomfort by walking or stretching Allen RP, et al, for the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group. Sleep Med. 2003;4:101-119.

  13. A Single Screening Question1,2

  14. Related Clinical Features

  15. Diagnosis of RLS • History • Review essential diagnostic criteria • Physical examination • Laboratory tests • Screen for renal failure2 • Screen for diabetes2 • Other tests for potential secondary causes if suspected2 • Polysomnography1 • Serum ferritin2 • Kushida CA, et al. Sleep. 2005;28:499-521. • Allen RP, et al, for the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group. Sleep Med. 2003;4:101-119.
