As mostly there is no pain, many sufferers try to treat it themselves and consult a physician only if in addition to disturbed sleep there is a worsening of the condition and noticeable pain. Doctors distinguish the idiopathic form from the symptomatic form. This occurs less frequently, and there is a causal relationship, for example, with diabetes mellitus, renal failure, pregnancy and iron deficiency. Sometimes the symptoms may also occur during the day and bring pain in addition to the unpleasant tingling or feeling of tension. As an alternative to drug therapy, the TENS therapy has proven to work well. Treatment with gentle electrical stimulation acts not only as an analgesic, but also stimulates the circulation and can be performed even at home by those affected. TENS should used with medium or high frequency, and the electrodes are placed in pairs, for example on the feet, or in the vicinity of the feet.
Restless Legs Syndrome.
A disease with an unknown cause, that affects a large number of people, particularly older people, is Restless Legs Syndrome. (RLS). This is a peculiar restlessness in the arms and legs that can occur before bedtime, but often manifests during the night as a very unpleasant feeling in the extremities, which urges the sufferer to get up and walk around.
