Abstract
Restless Legs Syndrome is a highly prevalent sensorimotor disorder characterized by urge to move the legs due to discomfort that primarily happens in the evening or at nights. Although the exact pathophysiology remains unclear, brain iron deficiency and altered dopaminergic function appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of this condition. This disorder affects women more frequently and is associated with significant morbidity.
