What Causes Severe Jerking And Twitching Of The Legs?

My spouse has severe jerking and twitching of the legs which starts about 20 minutes after she turns out the light every night. We think it is more severe than restless legs since I have had that and this seems not to respond to treatment we ve tried. Can you help us identify a possible cause and/or solution? Thank you. JAH
