Association of Restless Legs Syndrome in Type 2 Diabetes: A Case-Control Study

Abstract: This is the first controlled study confirming a significant association between RLS and type 2 diabetes. In diabetic patients, polyneuropathy represents the main risk factor for RLS. However, polyneuropathy only partially explains the increased prevalence of RLS in type 2 diabetics. Clinical characteristics of RLS in diabetic patients are those of a secondary form.

“…[89][90][91][92][93] An imbalanced equilibrium in the dorsal horn of the spinal grey matter among the excitatory nociceptive inputs, due to the peripheral neuropathy, and the inhibitory ones descending from the diencephalon might explain the occurrence of RLS in the course of peripheral neuropathy. 33 Differently from primary RLS, patients affected by RLS due to polyneuropathy identify the sensory discomfort in the legs as painful sensations.…”

“…32 Recently, type 2 diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis have been recognized as being able to favor RLS. 33,34 Patients affected by secondary forms of the sleep disorder report a low frequency of positive family history of RLS, a late age of onset of RLS, and the antecedence of onset of the main clinical condition to RLS onset. In addition, a treatment able to remove the main clinical condition (such as iron supplements and kidney transplantation) may produce a complete remission of RLS symptomatology.…”
