Spinal cord stimulation for severe restless leg syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small implanted device that sends electrical signals to the spinal cord can help people with severe restless leg syndrome (RLS) who haven't improved with medications. RLS causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, especially at night, and this treatment may provide relief when standard drugs don't work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can reduce the symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in people who have not gotten enough relief from medications. If successful, it could offer a new treatment option for severe RLS.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator can help people with restless leg syndrome (RLS). It compares people with RLS to healthy volunteers to see if the device reduces symptoms.
This trial tests if a small nerve stimulation device can safely and effectively reduce restless legs symptoms in pregnant people. If you are between 21 and 26 weeks pregnant with a confirmed diagnosis of restless legs syndrome (RLS), you may be eligible.
This trial tests a new drug (a calcium channel modulator) to see how well it works and how safe it is for people with moderate to severe restless legs syndrome (RLS). It may offer a new treatment option for those with typical or variant RLS.
This trial tests if using a special light (near-infrared) and gentle vibration can help relieve restless leg syndrome in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have uncomfortable leg feelings that get worse when resting and better when moving, this study may offer a new way to find relief.
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your lower legs to calm RLS symptoms, especially at night. It is for people whose RLS has worsened despite taking dopamine-agonist medications.
