研究概览
简要总结
Periodic Limb Movements (PLMs) during sleep in patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) have been shown to be associated with elevations in Blood Pressure (BP). Rotigotine has been shown to effectively reduce the incidence of PLMs in patients with RLS. The current study aims to demonstrate that treatment with Rotigotine could help reduce the number of nocturnal BP elevations associated with PLMs in patients with RLS.

主要结局
Change From Baseline in the Number of Elevations of Systolic Blood Pressure (BP) During the Night That Are Associated With Periodic Limb Movements (PLMs) at the End of the 4-week Maintenance Period
时间窗: Baseline to the end of the 4-week Maintenance Period
Polysomnography (PSG) recordings, including the assessment of continuous Blood Pressure and 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG), were obtained on 2 consecutive nights prior to Baseline Visit and prior to End of Maintenance Period (Visit 7) for up to 8 hours per night. Readings from the first night of the PSG were only used for analysis if the PSG from the second night was determined to be not valid for evaluation. Influence of Periodic Limb Movements (PLMs) on sleep is reflected in the Periodic Limb Movement-Related Arousal Index (PLMAI). Arousal is defined as sudden change in the EEG activity and the index illustrates to what degree the PLMs contribute to arousal from sleep. Sleep stages and time spent in each sleep stage were determined from Electroencephalogram (EEG) readings. A negative value in Change from Baseline indicates an improvement from Baseline. The higher the negative value the better the improvement.
