ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new device designed to help people with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), a condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an urge to move them, often disrupting sleep. The study aims to find out how well the device works, how safe it is, and how patients tolerate its use. If you are between the ages of 76 and 70 and have been diagnosed with moderate to severe RLS, you might be eligible to participate. To join, you'll need to agree not to change your current medications for RLS and be able to communicate in English.

Participants in the study will be asked to use the device and report on their symptoms over time. The trial is currently recruiting, so if you're interested, it's a good idea to reach out to the study team to learn more about what being part of this trial involves. Remember, this study is aimed at finding new ways to help manage RLS, which can be a frustrating condition for many.
