Background
RLS
RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME
There is a large population of restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients who are refractory to medication. Whereas experts recommend off-label opioids as an effective long-term treatment for refractory RLS, reducing opioid dose could substantially reduce side effects and risks. Tonic motor activation (TOMAC) is a nonpharmacological therapeutic device indicated for refractory RLS. Here, we investigated if TOMAC could enable opioid dose reduction for refractory RLS.
