Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that Restless Legs Syndrome is a neurological movement disorder of the limb often associated with sleep complaint.

Treatment for RLS is a combination of pharmacological and non- pharmacological therapy that includes Dopaminergic agents, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsant, iron salt etc. & non-pharmacological like
- avoidance of Caffine, alcohol & nicotine
- Exercise
- physical modalities before bedtime like, hot or cold bath, whirlpool bath, limb massage or vibratory/ electrical stimulation of feet and toes.

Hope this will help

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Mahajan
