Definition for restless legs syndrome
Restless legs syndrome (RLS, or Wittmaack-Ekbom's syndrome) is poorly understood, often misdiagnosed, and believed to be a neurological disorder.
more
Restless legs syndrome (RLS, or Wittmaack-Ekbom's syndrome) is poorly understood, often misdiagnosed, and believed to be a neurological disorder. It is sometimes called "Ekbom's syndrome", however care should be used when using that term, as a distinct condition shares that same eponym: delusional parasitosis. But many doctors say that the incidence of restless leg syndrome is exaggerated by manufacturers of drugs used to treat it.
