Abstract
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a chronic sensory‑motor disorder characterized by sensory discomfort in legs, appearing or worsening during rest in the evening or night time, evoking the urge to move. Despite its wide prevalence (around 5−10% in the population) and essential influence on the quality of life, not all the physicians, specialists of the primary care and even neurologists are common with this disorder. Because of that RLS stays commonly unrecognized.
