ABSTRACT:
Restless Legs Syndrome- is a disorder in which you have an uncontrollable impulse to move your legs, usually in response to an unpleasant sensation. It usually happens when you're seated or lying down in the evening or at night. Moving around temporarily alleviates the uncomfortable sensation. Restless legs syndrome, also known as Willis-Ekbom sickness, can strike at any age and worsens with time. It can interfere with daily tasks by disrupting sleep. Simple self-care and lifestyle adjustments may be beneficial in alleviating symptoms. Medications also help many people with RLS1.
