What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the prevalence and characteristics of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in Thai patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD). It will involve screening participants aged 18 to 80 years who meet specific diagnostic criteria for PD. The study seeks to identify the prevalence of RLS among this population, which has been under-researched in Thailand, and to explore the potential relationship between RLS and PD. By gathering data on this condition, the study hopes to improve understanding and management of RLS in patients with PD.
