The Impact of Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation on Restless Legs Syndrome in Parkinson's Disease
ConclusionDBS-STN provided relief of symptoms in most of the patients with PD and RLS. We found that RLS was associated with worse subjective sleep quality, more severe NMS, and complications of levodopa therapy. DBS-STN may have direct impact on RLS rather than related indirectly through post-surgery change in medications.
