Abstract
Restless leg syndrome is a distressing condition characterised by an irresistible urge to move the legs owing to a creeping sensation of both legs. This disease is closely associated with parkinsonian disorders and other non-Parkinson’s disorders and non-neurological illness such as diabetes mellitus. This study has been undertaken to study the clinical profile of restless leg syndrome and its association with various diseases. This was a cross sectional study which involved 40 patients. Patients have their history taken according to a Questionnaire and subjected to clinical examination. A section of the questionnaire was used to assess leg symptoms during sleep. In addition to these restless leg question, the questionnaire also included questions on self-rated general health status. The majority of the population is contributed by the Parkinson’s Disease (16/40) contributing to 40%. Other extrapyramidal symptoms such as tremors, dystonia contributed to 30% (12/40). Systemic illness such as Diabetes contributed to 25% (10/40). Anaemia contributes for 12.5% (5/40). Alcohol contributed to 10% (4/40). Other systemic illness such as CAD/ SHT/ CVA contributes to 27.5% (11/40). This study has stood in line with many of the previously conducted studies on Restless leg syndrome.
