Restless leg syndrome

To determine whether cognitive dysfunction and depression are more prevalent in restless leg syndrome (RLS) subjects compared to controls and the impact of RLS severity on these variables. A prospective study was performed on 681 subjects (161 with RLS). The RLS group was subdivided into three subgroups of mild, moderate and severe based on International RLS Study Group (IRLSSG) score.

Parkinson's patients face many challenges in their daily lives due to their symptoms. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an intervention that uses electrical stimulation to help alleviate some of the extrapyramidal symptoms.
