Up to 15% of the adult population experiences restless legs or Ekbom syndrome during their life [1]. The patients may present to a wide range of medical specialities such as general practitioners, general physicians, nephrologists, haematologists, obstetricians, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, and neurologists. Around 3% of patients experience major sleep disturbance that needs active medical treatment [2,3]. Therefore knowing about Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is vital to provide a proper diagnosis and treatment to patients with this condition.
