A major aim of the Study Group is the development and continuous improvement of standards for diagnosis and treatment of RLS. Several members developed study designs and evaluation methods in investigator-initiated trials early in the 1990s, and all members have since contributed to many pivotal and nonpivotal drug trials for the treatment of RLS. The recommendations on clinical investigations of pharmacological treatment of RLS patients summarize the group's expertise and knowledge acquired through clinical trials. The recommendations primarily address how to plan and conduct confirmatory, randomized clinical studies in patients with idiopathic RLS. Advice is presented for the diagnosis of RLS and clinical and polysomnographic inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary and secondary endpoints for an evaluation of efficacy are based on a critical description of validated methods for both short- and long-term trials, also in special populations (children, pregnant women, elderly patients). The recommendations include the assessment of augmentation. Finally, general issues including the evaluation of safety and tolerability, as well as specific neurological and cardiovascular risks and sleep attacks/daytime somnolence, are discussed. The aim of these recommendations is to support research groups or pharmaceutical companies in the design of optimized study protocols.

Methods: The RBDSQ was administered to two independent samples of 52 and 75 consecutive PD patients investigated with video-polysomnography (vPSG). Results: In sample A, the RBDSQ identified 46/52 (88.5%) patients correctly. In sample B, 50/75 (66.7%) patients were identified correctly. Considering a cut-off score of >= 5 as a positive test result, sample A showed a sensitivity of 0.90 and a specificity of 0.87, sample B showed a sensitivity of 0.68 and a specificity of 0.63. Main differences between both groups were that patients of sample A underwent a sleep history including RBD assessment prior to administration of the RBDSQ, whereas in sample B the RBDSQ was administered during routine work-up. Conclusions: The diagnostic value of the RBDSQ strongly depends on the clinical setting and may be influenced by the individual's awareness on RBD.

Methods: Efficacy and safety of rotigotine (0.5-4 mg/24 h), formulated as a once-daily transdermal system (patch), were investigated in an open extension (SP710) of a preceding 6-week placebo-controlled trial (SP709, 341 randomized patients) in patients with idiopathic restless legs syndrome. For efficacy assessment the international RLS severity scale (IRLS), the RLS-6 scales, the clinical global impressions (CGI) and the QoL-RLS questionnaire were administered. In addition, long-term tolerability and safety were assessed. Results: Of 310 patients who finished the controlled trial, 295 (mean age 58 +/- 10 years, 66% females) with a mean IRLS score of 27.8 +/- 5.9 at baseline of SP709 were included. We report results after one year of this ongoing long-term trial. Two hundred twenty patients (retention rate = 74.6%) completed the 12-month follow-up period. The mean daily dose was 2.8 +/- 1.2 mg/24 h with 4 mg/24 h (40.6%) being the most frequently applied dose; 14.8% were sufficiently treated with 0.5 or 1.0 mg/24 h. The IRLS total score improved by -17.4 +/- 9.9 points between baseline and end of Year 1 (p < 0.001). The other measures of severity, sleep satisfaction and quality of life supported the efficacy of rotigotine (p < 0.001 for pre-post-comparisons of all efficacy variables). The tolerability was described as \"good\" or \"very good\" by 80.3% of all patients. The most common adverse events were application site reactions (40.0%), which led to withdrawal in 13.2%. Further relatively frequent adverse events were nausea (9.5%) and fatigue (6.4%). Two drug-related serious adverse events, nausea and syncope, required hospitalization. Symptoms of augmentation were not reported by the patients. Conclusion: Rotigotine provided a stable, clinically relevant improvement in all efficacy measures throughout one year of maintenance therapy. The transdermal patch was safe and generally well tolerated by the majority of patients. Comparable to any transdermal therapy, application site reactions were the main treatment complication.

Because of the high prevalence it is necessary to evaluate the impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Objective: To assess health-related quality of life in patients with RLS. Methods: A total of 519 patients (327 female patients; mean age: 64.2 y) were recruited in five different German centers according to the diagnostic criteria of the International RLS Study Group. Patients were either interviewed or completed a mailed questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of an evaluation of the sociodemographic, clinical and health-related status. HRQoL was evaluated with the EuroQoL (EQ-5D). In addition, the IRLS scale, the MOS Sleep Scale, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the BDI were applied as clinical rating scales. Results: HRQoL is substantially affected by RLS. The mean EQ-5D-VAS was 55.6 and considerably lower compared to the general population. It was found to be as low as in other chronic neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and stroke. From different, factors investigated by uni- and multivariate analyses, severity of RLS and depressive symptoms had the most significant impact on HRQoL. Additionally, sleep deficits, the duration of the disease and net household income were identified as predictors for different EQ-5D outcome scores. Conclusions: RLS considerably affects HRQoL. Further comparative studies are necessary to evaluate the effect of disease symptoms on HRQoL and their change due to medication. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The Movement Disorder Society (MDS) commissioned a task force to perform an evidence-based review of file medical literature on treatment modalities used to manage patients with RLS. The task force performed a search of the published literature using electronic databases. The therapeutic efficacy of each drug was classified as being either efficacious, likely efficacious, investigational, nonefficacious, or lacking sufficient evidence to classify. Implications for clinical practice were generated based on the levels of evidence and particular features of each modality, such as adverse events. All studies were classed according to three levels of evidence. All Level-I trials were included in the efficacy tables if no Level-I trials were available then Level-If trials were included or, in the absence of Level-II trials, Level-III studies or case series were included. Only studies published in print or online before December 31, 2006 were included. All studies published after 1996, which attempted to assess RLS augmentation, were reviewed in a separate section. The following drugs are considered efficacious for the treatment of RLS: levodopa, ropinirole, pramipexole. cabergoline, pergolide, and gabapentin. Drugs considered likely efficacious are rotigotine, bromocriptine, oxycodone, carbamazepine, valproic acid, and clonidine. Drugs that are considered investigational are dihydroergocriptine, lisuride, methadone, tramadol, clonazepam, zolpidem, amantadine, and topiramate. Magnesium, folic acid, and exercise are also considered to be investigational. Sumanirole is nonefficacious. Intravenous iron dextran is likely efficacious for the treatment of RLS secondary to end-stage renal disease and investigational in RLS subjects with normal renal function. The efficacy of oral iron is considered investigational; however, its efficacy appears to depend on the iron status of subjects. Cabergoline and pergolide (and possibly lisuride) require special monitoring due to fibrotic complications including cardiac valvulopathy. Special monitoring is required for several other medications based on clinical concerns: opioids (including, but not limited to, oxycodone, methadone and tramadol), due to possible addiction and respiratory depression, and some anticonvulsants (particularly, carbamazepine and valproic acid), due to systemic toxicities.
