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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better recognition and management of Restless Legs Syndrome in patients with Parkinson's Disease, ultimately improving their quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on RLS in Parkinson's Disease globally, this specific focus on the Thai population is novel and has not been extensively explored.
