Willis-Ekbom Disease Treatment

Restless legs syndrome / Willis-Ekbom disease (RLS / WED) is a chronic neurosensory disorder characterized by a strong urge to move along with uncomfortable leg paresthesia affecting about 5-15% of adults in industrialized countries. Restless legs syndrome / Willis-Ekbom condition RLS / WED is a confusing disorder, primarily because of its etiological variability. A genetic component appears to exist, but it is also known that Restless legs syndrome / Willis-Ekbom disease RLS / WED may be caused by other underlying pathologies, and is treated by remedying these conditions. The brain dopamine system is another highly researched area in the quest to find an etiology and treatment for Restless Legs Syndrome / Willis-Ekbom disease RLS / WED; in fact, dopaminergic medication is considered the first line of treatment for RLS / WED that is not caused by other underlying factors.
