Exercise Types for Restless Legs in Pregnancy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise—aerobic (heart-pumping) and muscle relaxation—to help pregnant women with restless leg syndrome sleep better and feel less tired. Restless leg syndrome causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, especially at night, which disrupts sleep during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether gentle stretching and strength exercises can help pregnant women with restless leg syndrome—a condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs and disrupts sleep. The goal is to see if these exercises reduce symptoms and improve sleep quality during pregnancy.
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 studies how a single session of exercise changes blood markers in people with restless legs syndrome (RLS) who are not currently being treated. If you have moderate to severe RLS and are not regularly active, this study may help us understand how exercise affects your condition.
This study compares two treatments for restless leg syndrome in people with COPD: interval aerobic training (a type of exercise) and laser puncture therapy (using light on specific points). The goal is to see which one better relieves the uncomfortable leg sensations and urge to move.
This study looks at whether gentle physical activity can help pregnant women who are on bed rest in the hospital. It aims to see if movement is safe and beneficial for both the mother and baby.
