Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MRT), when added to a home exercise program, is effective in reducing symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in adult women. It will also examine the effects of treatment on sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, depressive symptoms, and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Matrix Rhythm Therapy reduce the severity of Restless Legs Syndrome symptoms? Does Matrix Rhythm Therapy improve sleep quality and insomnia symptoms? Does Matrix Rhythm Therapy improve quality of life and emotional well-being? Researchers compared participants receiving Matrix Rhythm Therapy plus home exercise with participants receiving home exercise alone. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of two study groups Receive a home exercise program for 5 weeks Receive Matrix Rhythm Therapy sessions twice weekly for 5 weeks if assigned to the intervention group Complete questionnaires and clinical assessments before and after treatment
