RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME PROGNOSIS |
|
|
|
Restless Legs Syndrome usually does not indicate the onset
of other neurological disease. It may remain static, although
two-thirds of patients get worse with time. The symptoms usually
progress gradually. Treatment with Levodopa is effective in moderate
to severe cases that may include significant PLMS. However, this
drug produces significant side effects, and continued successful
treatment may depend on carefully monitored use of combination drug
therapy. The prognosis is usually best if Restless Legs Syndrome symptoms are recent
and can be traced to another treatable condition that is associated
with Restless Legs Syndrome. Some associated conditions are not treatable. In these
cases, such as for rheumatoid arthritis, alternative therapies such
as acupuncture may be helpful. |
