📋Overview
Restless Legs Syndrome, also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a neurological sensorimotor disorder defined by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs. This condition is typically associated with uncomfortable sensations that arise or worsen during periods of inactivity.
Symptoms often follow a circadian pattern, becoming more pronounced in the evening or at night. Physical activity or movement can provide temporary relief from these sensations, which generally recur when the individual returns to a resting state.
