A total of 135 consecutive, unrelated, multiple sclerosis (MS) patients were interviewed for symptoms suggestive of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), using semi-structured questionnaires. Some 118 unrelated healthy controls of similar sex and age distribution were included for comparison. Patients and controls with equivocal symptoms were re-evaluated by a sleep disorders specialist and video-polisomnography in those who fulfilled the criteria for RBD. We did not find significant differences in frequency (13.3 versus 9.3%), proportion of females (66.7 versus 58.5%), and mean age (42.1±12.6 versus 43±7.8 years) among MS patients and controls with RLS. RBD was found in three patients (1.4%), one associated with antidepressant intake, but in none of the controls. Our study shows that RLS in MS is not more frequent than in the general population, and that RBD, although uncommon, may occur in the setting of this neurological disease.

Consequences Of Disease

Sleep disorders are also considered as significant chronic disorders, as their physiological and psycho-social consequences are well documented. Restless legs syndrome has high prevalence, as it occurs in 5–10 % of the general population. Since clinical presentation is not well appreciated by many of the health care professionals, only a small proportion of the patients with restless legs syndrome is diagnosed and treated. The consequences of disease, however, are not negligible. The majority of the patients suffer from insomnia, impaired daytime functioning and quality of life. Although, restless legs syndrome is frequently characterized as a sleep disorder, it does not only influence sleep but also the daytime functioning of the patients. Additionally, restless legs syndrome causes not only subjective complaints and sleep disruption, but it is also associated with cardiovascular disorders. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 259–266.
