Description: Non-profit organization providing the latest information about Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Its goals are to increase awareness, improve treatments, and through research, find a cure for RLS, a condition which severely affects the lives of millions of individuals. By educating healthcare providers about RLS symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, the RLS Foundation helps patients receive the quality care they both need and deserve. In recent years the Foundation has provided information to healthcare providers at many exhibit meetings, including the American Academy of Neurology, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. The Foundation continually strives to be the most reputable source of information on RLS. Their renowned Medical Advisory Board, composed of leading RLS experts from all over the world, has written several publications on the diagnosis and treatment of RLS. These include our comprehensive RLS Medical Bulletin, their patient brochure, and their brochures on special topics including concerns for surgery, depression, pregnancy, and children. The Foundation has taken giant strides to further RLS research, funding grants for 27 research projects. Among the most distinguished research projects the Foundation has put its resources behind is the ongoing Stanford Epidemiology Project. Although it is still underway, the Foundation recognizes that the highly anticipated results of the Stanford Epidemiology Project, including the creation of a world standard questionnaire used to accurately diagnose RLS, could be spectacular. Eventually this questionnaire may help researchers understand the health consequences of RLS and identify other conditions and diseases that are associated with or exacerbated by RLS. In addition, the RLS Foundation helped fund a study led by Dr. David Rye and deCODE Genetics in Iceland which recently announced the discovery of a gene for RLS.
