Overview
Overview

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) includes symptoms of abnormal sensations, some of which can be painful. Abnormal sensations are paresthesias and when they cause discomfort, they are dysesthesias. Symptoms cause an irresistible urge to move, but movement provides temporary relief. RLS has no cure and can impact quality of life.
