Nonpsychiatric Comorbidities in Pediatric Restless Leg Syndrome.

Many medical disorders coexist with restless leg syndrome (RLS) and frequently have a bidirectional relationship. Specific examination of these relationships can help in more timely identification and intervention of RLS, as well as more comprehensive care delivery of the various related morbidities resulting in improved health outcomes, sleep, and quality of life. RLS in the pediatric population can be difficult to identify and frequently can be missed or mischaracterized as normal growth-related features. The goal is to enhance recognition of RLS, periodic limb movement disorder, and their medical comorbidities in a compressed time frame and launch a personalized treatment approach.
