5Restless Legs Syndrome Diagnosis
There is a comprehensive test to diagnose restless legs syndrome. In most cases, a doctor tends to base on the descriptions of signs and symptoms to rule out or confirm the presence of the disorder. To reach a diagnosis, you must have the following signs: sensory issues improve with movement, sensory issues triggered while sleeping or relaxing, worse symptoms at night, and an overwhelming urge to move the legs.
Even when all of these criteria are present, a physical exam is still needed. The doctor might need to check for neurological signs. Keep in mind to provide information about any supplements or medications you take. And inform your doctor about your chronic health conditions. [5]
