诊断
A diagnosis of periodic leg movements begins with a physical examination and medical history. Your doctor will ask about the symptoms you are experiencing.
有时, people suffering from this condition may be unaware of their nighttime movements and may only complain about restless sleep and daytime fatigue. 在这些情况下, a person may need to be observed overnight while he or she sleeps during a polysomnogram, a test that records your sleep patterns and their bioelectrical processes. This test is often used to determine the cause of excessive daytime sleepiness, 比如周期性的腿部运动.

治疗
Treatment for periodic leg movements is only necessary when it causes 失眠, daytime fatigue or is accompanied by restless legs syndrome (RLS). The first step in treating periodic leg movements or RLS is to determine if they result from an underlying medical condition and, 如果是这样的话, 治疗这些原因. In many cases, this will eliminate the nighttime movements.
如果不成功, there are various medications available to treat both periodic leg movements and RLS. The three classes of drugs frequently used include benzodiazepines, Parkinson drugs and narcotics. These medications will not cure periodic leg movements or RLS, 但会有助于减轻或消除症状. It is important to know that they may cause side effects, which should be discussed with your doctor.
