How do neurologists detect rls in patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really by history: Restless leg syndrome is occasionally found during an overnight sleep study, but the doc diagnosis is by pt history. Going to bed, unable to stay still, as legs feel irritable, and gets up, walks about, and then can relax. Maybe legs jump a bit, maybe happens at the movies or while watching tv. Occasionally, pts have associated kidney disease, peripheral neuropathy, ferritin problems.
