What are the treatments for Restless Legs Syndrome?

Patient's question:

My father-in-law has been troubled by Restless Legs Syndrome and cannot be cured. I am looking for treatment methods for Restless Legs Syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Restless legs syndrome includes some non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments. Generally, non-pharmacological treatments can involve iron supplementation. For restless legs syndrome patients, especially premenopausal women, experimental oral iron supplements can be tried. In addition, it is advisable to avoid medications containing caffeine or nicotine, as well as alcohol, as these may worsen symptoms.
