NCT07179406
This study aims to evaluate neurophysiological responses and symptom changes in individuals with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and/or chronic pain. Participants will undergo standard clinical assessments including EEG, EMG, h-reflex, SSEP, ERP, and TMS under varying SCS conditions.The study involves 4 arms. Arm 1 are individuals diagnosed with RLS and Healthy Controls. Arm 2 are individuals diagnosed with RLS and have an existing SCS. Arm 3 are individuals diagnosed with RLS and scheduled to receive a SCS. Arm 4 are individuals with chronic pain and have a SCS, but no diagnosis of RLS.

This Randomized Clinical Trial, titled "Combined Effects of Near-Infrared Light and Vibration on Pain, Sleep Quality and Symptom Severity in Diabetic Patients with Restless Leg Syndrome," aims to evaluate a non-pharmacological treatment for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) in diabetic patients. RLS is a neurological disorder causing an irresistible urge to move the legs, and its co-occurrence with diabetes significantly worsens symptoms, pain, and sleep quality. While both Near-Infrared (NIR) light therapy and vibration therapy have individually shown benefits, this study will investigate the potential synergistic effects of combining them. 42 diabetic patients with RLS (aged 50-65) will be randomly assigned to one of three groups for four weeks (3 sessions/week): Group A (Vibration + Conventional Stretching), Group B (NIR Light + Conventional Stretching), and Group C (Combined Vibration and NIR Light + Conventional Stretching). Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks using the International Restless Leg Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). This research explores the synergistic effects of near-infrared light and vibration therapy on Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) symptoms in diabetic patients, aiming to alleviate symptoms, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being.
NCT06726785
The study aims to observe changes in dopaminergic genes expression in peripheral tissue upon prolonged dopamine agonist treatment on patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Similar studies in Parkinson's disease have shown changes in alpha-synuclein expression, which might offer insights into the dopaminergic gene regulation seen in RLS. The dopamine agonist drugs to be included in this study are: Pramipexole (Mirapex), Ropinirole (Requip), Rotigotine (Neupro), Apomorphine (Apokyn), Bromocriptine (Parlodel). Specifically, the study will collect nasal swabs of participants partitioned into two groups, those who have not used a dopamine agonist or been on a dopamine agonist for less than 1 month compared to those who have been on the medication for 6 or more months. This research could provide insight into changes in dopaminergic gene expression associated with Augmentation Syndrome (AS) which occurs after long term dopamine agonist treatment in RLS patients.
NCT06747741
Restless leg Syndrome (RLS) is a common condition in the elderly population,characterized byan uncontrollable urge to move the leg,often occuring in the evening or at night,which can significantly disturb sleep and daily activities(ADL). Although various type of stretchings found to be effective on the symptoms of RLS,no study has specifically compared the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching technique versus conventional physical therapy on the symptoms of RLS and related sleep disturbances.This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of PNF stretching compared to conventional physical therapy,on the symptoms of RLS in elderly population.
NCT03018912
Sleep disorders are commonly under-recognized in the primary care setting and available screening tools are often are limited. The study inestigators hypothesize that the use of a novel subjective sleep vital sign (VS) will improve recognition of patients with sleep disorders and can be utilized to track outcomes to sleep therapy.
