Restless Legs Syndrome: Coping with Your Sleepless Nights
M.D. Mark J. Buchfuhrer, M.D. Wayne A. Hening Ph.D, M.D. Clete A. Kushida Ph.D
The hallmark of the neurologic disorder RLS is an irresistible urge to move, most commonly at night. Symptoms vary in severity and can result in sleeplessness, fatigue, and impaired function, and can affect families and relationships as well. Written by leaders in this field and sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology, Restless Legs Syndrome explains what is known about RLS, including its causes and manifestations, and what can be done to manage it. Specific chapters cover treatments, including drug and non-pharmalogic therapy, RLS in children, lifestyle changes, resources, and more.
