Medikamentöse Behandlung des Restless-Legs-Syndroms

Bei der Therapie des Restless-Legs-Syndroms (RLS) sollte man sich immer an der subjektiven Besserung der RLS-Symptome, der Schlafstörung und auch der Lebensqualität orientieren. Neben der geeigneten Wahl des Präparates und supportiven Therapien, wie Eisensupplementierung, sollten RLS-Patienten regelmäßig klinisch untersucht werden, auch um die medikamentöse Therapie nötigenfalls anzupassen und wichtige Differenzialdiagnosen rechtzeitig zu erkennen.
