TMS for Restless Legs Syndrome Newport Beach, CA

Understanding Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, typically due to uncomfortable sensations. These sensations are often described as tingling, crawling, or pulling and usually occur during periods of inactivity, such as sitting or lying down. The symptoms can significantly disrupt sleep and daily activities. Key aspects of RLS include:

• Uncomfortable Sensations: Tingling, itching, or burning sensations in the legs.
• Compulsive Movement: An irresistible urge to move the legs to relieve these sensations.
• Worsening Symptoms at Night: Symptoms often become more severe in the evening or night.
• Sleep Disruptions: Difficulty falling or staying asleep due to leg discomfort.

How TMS Works for Restless Legs Syndrome

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targets specific brain areas that may be involved in the sensory and motor pathways associated with RLS. By delivering magnetic pulses to these regions, TMS can help modulate neural activity, reducing the frequency and intensity of RLS symptoms.

Specific Benefits of TMS for Restless Legs Syndrome

• Reduction in Symptoms: Many patients experience a significant decrease in the uncomfortable sensations and the urge to move their legs.
• Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: TMS is a non-invasive procedure that does not require medication, avoiding potential side effects of pharmaceuticals.
• Improved Sleep Quality: By alleviating RLS symptoms, TMS can help improve sleep patterns, improving overall health and well-being.
