## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) have a dopaminergic link. More insight in the clinical profile of RLS in patients with PD may benefit our understanding of this link. The aims of this study were to evaluate the frequency and clinical profile of RLS in a large co

## Abstract Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder of motor activity with a circadian pattern, occurring frequently in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We sought to estimate the prevalence of RLS in Indian PD patients. One hundred twentyβsix consecutive PD patients and 128 healthy ageβ a
The pathophysiology of restless legs syndrome (RLS) is associated with central dopaminergic system dysfunction leading to speculations that RLS may be common in those neurodegenerative diseases with dopaminergic cell loss. However, since RLS is a very common condition, the co-occurrence with less fr
## Abstract To explore the clinical significance of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) and the causal relationship between these two disorders, we made a comparison of both the prevalence of RLS and the severity of sleep disturbance manifested on the Pittsburg Sleep Quality In
