The Suggested Immobilization Test With Exploratory Heart Rate Variability Analysis for Diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is not uncommon and can also affect people's health and quality of life. Mainly, RLS is diagnosed based on clinical criteria subjectively. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between RLS and mimickers, especially in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes or parkinson's disease. We believe that using objective tests would facilitate accuracy in RLS diagnosis, which leads to proper management of patients.

Tolerability and Efficacy of CBD Extract for RLS Treatment

This study plans to learn more about the safety and tolerability of high Cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis extract (BRC-002) for use in Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome. Symptoms and side effects experienced while taking the study drug will be tracked to determine if this medication is safe to use.

The Effect of Kinesio Taping and Manual Lymph Drainage on Pregnant Women With Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless Leg Syndrome, a progressive and recurrent chronic sensorimotor disorder that creates an irresistible urge to move the legs and a feeling of discomfort, is seen in 15.4-26.0% of pregnant women in our country. Restless Leg Syndrome has negative effects on sleep, mood, cognitive health, daily activities and behavior in pregnant women; It can also cause preeclampsia, difficult labor, and cesarean delivery. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women with Restless Leg Syndrome to be treated appropriately. It is recommended that pregnant women use non-pharmacological treatments as they are not risky for fetal health. Kinesio taping and manual lymphatic drainage methods are used non-pharmacologically to support venous-lymphatic drainage and manage pain. These methods are economical, reliable and easy to apply. However, no study has been found in which Kinesio taping or manual lymphatic drainage was applied to a patient group with Restless Leg Syndrome during or outside pregnancy. The aim of this project is to determine the effect of Kinesio taping and manual lymphatic drainage on Restless Legs Syndrome severity, sleep quality and psychological well-being in pregnant women with Restless Legs Syndrome.
