RLS-UK is a registered charity, whose goal is to improve the quality of life for people living with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and to raise awareness of RLS among medical practitioners and the general public. RLS was first recognised hundreds of years ago, but it was not until the 1980s that awareness of the condition began to grow. RLS is a sensorimotor disorder characterised by an irresistible urge to move the limbs accompanied by uncomfortable sensations, leading to disturbed sleep and a poor quality of life. RLS symptoms usually begin or worsen during periods of rest or inactivity and are partly or completely relieved by active movement. Symptoms tend to worsen in the evening and at night and the majority of RLS patients also experience periodic limb movements during sleep or while awake. RLS-UK are a team of volunteers who advocate on behalf of people living with RLS. They work closely with a number of other patient organisations to try to improve the quality of service offered to RLS patients.
