Active clinical trials for "Restless Legs Syndrome"

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects on RLS symptoms and sleep disturbance of pramipexole (Mirapexin) 0.125 mg/day to 0.75 mg/day per os for 12 weeks, compared to placebo, in the treatment of patients with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of XP13512 taken once daily compared to placebo for the treatment of patients suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ropinirole XR in the long-term treatment (up to 52 weeks)of adults with RLS.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of pramipexole 0.125 mg to 0.75 mg daily versus placebo on RLS symptoms and on associated mood disturbances and depressive symptoms, after 12 weeks of treatment

The primary objective of this study is to determine that pramipexole (Sifrol) 0.25 mg to 0.75 mg daily is not inferior to levodopa 100 mg to 300 mg (in combination with benserazide 25mg to 75mg = Madopar DR) daily in the treatment of patients with idiopathic restless legs syndrome fulfilling the International Diagnostic Criteria. The efficacy parameters include an objective measure of the leg movements during the time spent in bed, and a quantitative clinical assessment of the severity of RLS, in the form of the RLS-score. In addition, the efficacy evaluations aim at comparing the impact of pramipexole and levodopa on outcome measures such as quality of life and sleep.

In this studly, the effects of an 8-week videogame-based physical activity training in persons with multiple sclerosis will be investigated.

Prospective open-label single-arm feasibility study assessing the tolerability of opioid medication reduction in conjunction with noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) for patients taking prescription opioids to treat moderate-severe primary RLS.

Multi-center, prospective double-blind randomized controlled pivotal study of noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) with the NTX100 Neuromodulation System for patients with medication-refractory moderate-severe primary RLS

Study to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pramipexole (PPX) after administration of a single dose orally (p.o.) in pediatric patients with the diagnosis of RLS

Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid that is the precursor of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. Tyrosine is converted into Levodihydrophenylalanine (L-Dopa) and L-Dopa is subsequently and avidly converted into dopamine. It is well known that dopamine deficiency leads to the manifestations of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Studies have shown dopamine agonists and L-dopa to be effective in controlling symptoms. No studies to date have been done to determine the role of tyrosine in RLS. This open-label pilot study aims to determine the efficacy and tolerability of tyrosine in RLS, as current agents have limitations in treating RLS in addition to adding another possible agent to the investigators arsenal of treating RLS that maybe more cost efficient. In this pilot study, the dose of tyrosine will be escalated from 750 mg once daily by mouth (PO) up to 3000 mg once daily PO, as tolerated, in increments of 750 mg every week in patients who meet the inclusion criteria for RLS. Patients' symptoms will be monitored on a weekly basis for six weeks.
