TL;DR: A large International Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Study Group has been formed as discussed by the authors, which has taken upon itself the role of definig the clinical features of the RLS, including sleep disturbance, periodic limb movements in sleep and similar involuntary movements while awake, a normal neurological examination in the idiopathic from, a tendency for the symptoms to be worse in middle to older age, and a family history suggestive of an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.

Periodic Limb Movement Disorder and Restless Legs Syndrome in Children With Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
