Summary For Families

They aim to find how common restless legs syndrome is and what its typical symptoms and patterns look like in Thai people with Parkinson's. Participants will be screened for restless leg symptoms and clinical characteristics so researchers can map prevalence and how RLS relates to Parkinson's features, rather than testing a treatment. Adults 18 to 80 with Parkinson's who meet the UKPDS Brain Bank criteria and have an MMSE of 24 or higher are eligible, while people with atypical or secondary parkinsonism or other causes of RLS such as end-stage kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, or pregnancy are excluded.
