Black Swan Analysis Epiomic™ Epidemiology Series Forecast Report on Restless Legs Syndrome in 13 Major Markets - ref #BS000033

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disorder, is a sensimotor sleep disorder. Clinically, RLS is characterized by disagreeable leg sensations occurring most often at sleep onset that provoke an irresistible urge to move legs. Patients with RLS typically complain of itching, creeping and tingling in their legs, usually between the ankle and the knee. The unpleasant sensations occur when the individual is at rest and are more pronounced in the evening or at night. The unpleasant sensations are relieved temporarily with leg movements.
