Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disorder, is a sensimotor sleep disorder. Clinically, RLS is characterized by disagreeable leg sensations occurring most often at sleep onset that provoke an irresistible urge to move legs. Patients with RLS typically complain of itching, creeping and tingling in their legs, usually between the ankle and the knee. The unpleasant sensations occur when the individual is at rest and are more pronounced in the evening or at night. The unpleasant sensations are relieved temporarily with leg movements.
This report provides the current prevalent population for Restless Legs Syndrome across 13 Major Markets (USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, Republic of Korea, India, China and Japan) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. Along with the current prevalence, the report also contains a disease overview of the risk factors, disease diagnosis and prognosis along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity.
Providing a value-added level of insight from the analysis team, several of the main symptoms and co-morbidities of Restless Legs Syndrome have been quantified and presented alongside the overall prevalence figures.
