Restless Leg Syndrome

This study plans to learn more about the safety and tolerability of high Cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis extract (BRC-002) for use in Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome. Symptoms and side effects experienced while taking the study drug will be tracked to determine if this medication is safe to use.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a prevalent sensorimotor disorder affecting pregnant women, particularly in the third trimester, and is associated with sleep disturbances, fatigue and reduced quality of life. Non-pharmacological strategies such as stretching and strength training offer promising alternatives during pregnancy. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of static stretching alone and static stretching combined with strength training on sleep quality, symptom severity and fatigue in antenatal women with RLS. Thirty pregnant women meeting the diagnostic criteria for RLS will be recruited from National Hospital and medical center and randomly assigned into two groups. Group A will receive static stretching exercises, while Group B will receive static stretching and lower limb strength training exercises for 6 weeks, three sessions per week. Data will be analyzed using SPSS, with a p-value \< 0.05 considered statistically significant.

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is not uncommon and can also affect people's health and quality of life. Mainly, RLS is diagnosed based on clinical criteria subjectively. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between RLS and mimickers, especially in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes or parkinson's disease. We believe that using objective tests would facilitate accuracy in RLS diagnosis, which leads to proper management of patients.
