Abstract

Due to developments in diagnosing and treating restless legs syndrome (RLS) over the past decade, there has been a marked increase in the awareness of RLS among both physicians and patients. In fact, it is estimated that 2 % of patients in primary care practices have RLS that is serious and disruptive enough to treat, with the number being diagnosed and treated expected to increase as awareness grows. This chapter aims to provide physicians with guidance to manage this large group of patients properly.
