A member asked:
Could a lumbar sympathetic block or nerve block help with restless leg syndrome or should i just use requip (ropinirole) and lidoderm 5% patches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RLS Rx: Do you have PRIMARY RLS (just RLS and nothing else) or secondary (due to neuropathy, sleep apnea, etc)? RLS happens in the BRAIN. I know of no evidence that blocks are effective for RLS. Whose notion was that? For same reason Lidocaine patches shouldn't help. Stick with ropinirole, pramipexole, gabapentin, pregabalin, levodopa. If secondary, try to treat underlying cause as well.
