Restless legs syndrome is a neurological disorder characterised by throbbing, pulling, creeping or other unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable, usually overwhelming, urge to move them. Symptoms occur primarily in the evening when a person is relaxing, and can increase in severity throughout the night. Both legs may be affected or one may be worse than the other. In more severe cases, the arms and lower trunk may also be affected. Restless legs syndrome can be a primary condition or secondary to another disorder. It is known to have a genetic basis and a positive family history is a strong risk factor. Despite this, the pathophysiology of restless legs syndrome remains unclear; what is known about the function of the implicated genes does not yet explain the syndrome. Dopaminergic dysfunction and iron deficiency are both thought to have a role in restless legs syndrome. The syndrome is also strongly associated with depression and anxiety disorders, although whether these conditions are caused by restless legs syndrome or are the result of lower sleep quality is not known.
