Anyone can suffer although RLS usually occurs more frequently in patients with diabetes, Parkinson's disease, kidney disease and iron deficiency. Furthermore, due to its symptoms, it causes akathisia, urgent need to have legs in constant motion, with inability to keep still. Although there is no cure for this disease, treatment is aimed at reducing stress in order to contribute to muscle relaxation.
