What this Trial Is About
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive brain disorder marked by symptoms like slow movement, stiffness, tremors, balance problems, and freezing episodes. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, leading to an urge to move, especially at rest. This research looks at how common RLS is among Thai patients with PD and explores its characteristics, aiming to improve detection and management of RLS in this group. Participants with Parkinson's disease aged 18 to 80 will be clinically screened for symptoms of restless legs syndrome using specific questions. The study focuses on patients diagnosed according to established criteria and excludes those with other forms of parkinsonism or certain health conditions that could affect RLS diagnosis. This observational study does not involve treatment but carefully assesses the presence and features of RLS in the participants. During the study, patients will undergo clinical questioning to identify RLS symptoms. Researchers will measure how common RLS is in this population and describe the clinical characteristics of those with RLS at recruitment. The study seeks to provide a clearer understanding of RLS in Thai PD patients, which may help improve future care and symptom management. The total participation involves a screening assessment at enrollment, with no treatment or long-term follow-up involved.
