Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological sensorimotor disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by tingling or burning sensations. Symptoms typically worsen at night, disrupting sleep and quality of life.

The Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) session explores its etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment advances. Discussions cover dopaminergic dysfunction, iron metabolism, and circadian rhythm alterations linked to the disorder.

At the Restless Legs Syndrome Conference, neurologists and sleep-medicine specialists share insights into neurochemical mechanisms, clinical trials, and non-pharmacologic therapies. Topics include neuroimaging findings, genetic markers, and behavioral interventions improving sleep quality.

This session is valuable for clinicians, sleep researchers, and pharmacologists addressing movement and sleep disorders. Participants gain a comprehensive view of diagnostic criteria, comorbidities, and innovative therapeutic approaches.

Recent progress in Neurochemistry Research has uncovered dopaminergic pathway variations and brain iron deficiency as major contributors to RLS, leading to more targeted therapies and biomarker development.

Core Scientific and Clinical Insights

Neurochemical Mechanisms

  • Dopamine and glutamate dysfunction affecting motor regulation
  • Iron deficiency impacting dopaminergic synthesis

Sleep and Circadian Pathways
