Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sleep-related neurological disorder that is characterized by the urge to move, worsening at rest, improvement with activity, and worsening in the evening and night. Dopamine agonists are usually the first-line therapy. Moderate-to-severe restless legs syndrome (RLS), now also known as Willis–Ekbom disease, with its predominantly nocturnal, rest-induced, distressing urge to move the legs, is a significant but Objective: To assess the effects of gabapentin on sensory and motor symptoms in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Methods: Patients with RLS (22 idiopathic, 2 secondary to iron deficiency) were randomized and treated for 6 weeks with either gabapentin or placebo. Medicines such as gabapentin, gabapentin enacarbil and pregabalin are the first line of treatment for most people with RLS. These medicines can cause side effects such as dizziness, unsteadiness, mental fog and weight gain. After six weeks of therapy, scores on the RLS scale were significantly different while patients were taking gabapentin (9.5 versus 17.9 for placebo, P <.0005). Patients' global impressions of Most RLS patients require 1200 to 1800 mg of gabapentin daily, but doses up to 3600 mg daily can be used. Because of nonlinear kinetics and substantial interindividual variability, the gabapentin dose often does not always reflect serum level, especially at single doses above 600 mg. Restless legs syndrome (often called restless leg syndrome or RLS) is a disorder that causes an overwhelming urge to move the legs, usually to alleviate unpleasant sensations. Gabapentin, and Restless legs syndrome is a common neurologic movement disorder that affects approximately 10 percent of adults. Of those affected with this condition, approximately one third have symptoms These include its potential role in treating conditions like restless leg syndrome, migraine headaches, and even certain types of cancer pain. While these areas are still under investigation, the promising early findings suggest that gabapentin's therapeutic potential may extend beyond its current uses. ©201 American Academy o Neurology AAN.com Weak Evidence Levodopa, when targeting PLMS, specifically the PLMI as measured by PSG (Level C). Pramipexole in preference to pregabalin, when targeting PLMS, specifically the PLMI as measured by PSG (Level C). Gabapentin is a prescription drug used to treat restless leg syndrome (RLS). Horizant is the extended-released version that is FDA-approved for RLS, while Neurontin is the immediate-release version that can be used off-label for such. Gabapentin enacarbil is used to treat moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). RLS is a neurologic disorder that makes the legs feel uncomfortable. This results in an irresistible feeling of wanting to move your legs to make them comfortable. In contrast, new evidence supporting three alpha-2-delta ligand calcium channel blockers — gabapentin enacarbil, gabapentin, and pregabalin — led the task force to support them as strong recommendations for RLS treatment. These medications are not associated with the augmentation of RLS symptoms observed with the dopaminergic agents. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized by an uncomfortable urge to move the legs while at rest, relief upon movement or getting up to walk, and worsened symptom severity at night. RLS may be primary (idiopathic) or secondary to pregnancy or a variety of systemic disorders, especially iron deficiency, and chronic renal insufficiency.
