Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, and even phantom limbs. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief. RLS has been found to be associated with depression in clinical sample as well as epidemiological studies. Dopamine is implicated in the causation of Psychological symptoms like stress and fatigue. and treatment of RLS by non pharmalogic methods is thought to improve de in RLS patients.RLS is a hardly studied, probably under-diagnosed condition in India. The exact prevalence of restless legs syndrome in India is not known as not much literature available on restless legs syndrome from India.
