✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Thirteen consecutive patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) were treated with piribedil and were rated using an RLS rating scale (0–10) and subjective response (0–100%); 11/13 (85%) had improvement of their mean RLS scores with subjective response ranging from 30% to 100% (mean 74.6%). This pilot study suggests that piribedil is effective for RLS.
