不宁腿综合征

定义

不宁腿综合征是一种清醒状态下的感觉运动障碍，其特征是患者主诉有强烈的、几乎无法抗拒的移动四肢的冲动。这种移动冲动常常但并非总是伴随着肢体深处的其他不适感觉。虽然腿部受累最为明显，但也有相当比例的不宁腿综合征患者描述一些手臂感觉。不宁腿综合征的症状在休息时加重，活动时减轻，傍晚或夜间最明显。症状严重到足以对个人、家庭、社会、教育、职业或其他重要功能领域造成重大困扰或损害（例如，由于睡眠经常中断）。绝大多数不宁腿综合征患者在睡眠中也表现出周期性肢体运动。在这种情况下，不需要单独诊断为周期性肢体运动障碍，因为睡眠中的肢体运动被认为是不宁腿综合征的预期症状。

Restless legs syndrome is a waking sensorimotor disorder characterised by a complaint of a strong, nearly irresistible urge to move the limbs. This urge to move is often but not always accompanied by other uncomfortable sensations felt deep inside the limbs. Although the legs are most prominently affected, a significant percentage of individuals with Restless legs syndrome describe some arm sensations. The symptoms of Restless legs syndrome are worse at rest, alleviated with movement, and predominant in the evening or night. The symptoms are sufficiently severe to result in significant distress or impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning (e.g., due to frequent disruptions in sleep). The vast majority of individuals with Restless legs syndrome also exhibit periodic limb movements during sleep. A separate diagnosis of Periodic limb movement disorder is not warranted in such cases because the limb movements during sleep are considered to be an expected part of Restless legs syndrome.
