People with restless legs syndrome (RLS) face a higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease (PD), according to an Oct. 6 peer-reviewed study published in the American Medical Association’s JAMA Network.
RLS is a neurological disorder in which people feel an irresistible urge to move their legs, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. People with RLS experience uncomfortable sensations such as aching, itching, crawling, throbbing, and creeping.
