Treatment for RLS aims to alleviate symptoms and improve sleep quality. Options include:
Medications: Drugs that increase dopamine activity, such as pramipexole and ropinirole, are often prescribed. Other medications may include anti-seizure drugs, opioids, and iron supplements if a deficiency is present. Lifestyle changes: Regular exercise, good sleep hygiene, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol can help manage symptoms. Non-pharmacological therapies: Some individuals find relief through leg massages, hot baths, or the use of heating pads or ice packs.
