Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood obtained from 22 untreated or scarcely treated patients with moderate to severe restless legs syndrome (RLS; mean age, 58.6 +/- 13 years) and 11 control subjects (mean age, 56.6 +/- 12.9 years) were investigated for biogenic amines between 6:00 and 8:00 PM. We did
Dopaminergic agents are the best-studied agents and are considered first-line treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Extensive data are available for levodopa, pramipexole, and ropinirole, which have approval for the indication RLS, and to a smaller extent for cabergoline, pergolide, and rotigot
## Abstract An open pilot study with the dopamine agonist α‐dihydroergocryptine (DHEC) was conducted in 16 patients with idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS) over a period of 5 weeks. Following a drug‐free interval of 1 week, the patients were treated with daily doses of 10 to 40 mg DHEC. As com
