Question : Checking to find if there is any new therapy for RLS.
Brief Answer:
A vibrating device may be used to improve sleep quality.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The new treatment is a device (Relaxis) for improvement of sleep quality in patients with primary RLS.
Still, old treatment possibilities with dopamine agonists, anticonvulsants, opioids, or combinations of these classes, are used for the improvement of RLS symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
