| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change in severity level of restless leg syndrome | 3 month | Restless Leg Syndrome Rating Scale: used for assessing the severity restless legs syndrome (RLS). This tool composed of 10-item questionnaire asks respondents to use Likert-type ratings. Each question contains answers that score from 0 to 4 points, with 0 representing the absence of a problem and 4 representing a very severe problem. Total scores can range from 0 to 40. Questions can be divided into one of two categories: disorder symptoms (nature, intensity, and frequency) and their impact (sleep issues, disturbances in daily functioning, and resultant changes in mood). Very severe=31-40 points, Severe=21-30 points, Moderate=11-20 points, Mild=1-10 points, None=0 points |
