研究组 & 干预措施
Dry needling with electrical stimulation
Participants with restless legs syndrome will receive dry needling with electrical stimulation to the lower extremities
干预措施: Dry Needling with electrical stimulation
结局指标
主要结局
Change in periodic limb movement
时间窗: Baseline, weekly for 3 weeks
Measured using a consumer-grade sleep tracking device.
Change in Restless Legs Syndrome symptom severity
时间窗: Baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-intervention
RLS symptom severity of each participant will be indexed with likert scale ratings and subacutely by completion of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLSRS). The IRLSRS has demonstrated to be a valid and reliable outcome measure for RLS symptom severity. The scale consists of 10 questions concerning each patient's symptoms and the impact of those symptoms on daily activities and mood. 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 with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
Change in sleep quality
时间窗: Baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-intervention
Measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Self-report questionnaire that measures general sleep quality. The scoring range is 0-21 with 0-3 scoring for each component. Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.
次要结局
- Change in quality of life(Baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-intervention)
- Change in pain level(Baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-intervention)
- Acute change in Restless Legs Syndrome symptoms(Baseline, Immediately post-intervention)
