摘要：
Treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) has as its goals alleviation of the primary symptoms of the disorder and establishment of normal sleep. Dopamine agonists are considered first-line treatment when daily treatment for primary RLS is indicated. Gabapentin and opioids may be of value for refractory cases. Initial treatment of secondary RLS should address the underlying cause.
