Research Proposal

This research proposal investigates the effects of exercise on Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs. The study will utilize a cross-sectional survey and analyze data using SPSS, focusing on the impact of various forms of exercise on RLS symptoms and related conditions. Previous findings suggest that regular exercise can alleviate RLS symptoms and improve quality of life, particularly in patients with comorbidities such as iron deficiency and depression.

Research Proposal

Title: “Effects of Exercise on restless leg syndrome”


RLS is a neurological sensorimotor disorder that can cause uncontrollable urge to
move legs, usually because of uncomfortable sensation (Allen, picchietti, et
al,2014)
Aerobic exercises like running, cycling and swimming can help alleviate RLS
symptoms. Resistance training improve circulation. Gentle stretching and
strengthening reduce muscle tension. Frequency of regular exercise, ideally 3-4
times per week. Cross sectional survey will be done on patients using RLS rating
scale. Questionnaire and data will be analyzed through SPSS version 21. Mean
standard deviation will be used to present quantitative data. This study will use
convenient sampling technique. RLS also linked with certain medical conditions
such as iron deficiency, Urenia, Hypothyroidism, Depression, Fibronyyalgia,
Diabeties, Peripheral neuropathy and pregnancy. Symptoms were associated with
poor sleep quality, poor daytime function and depressed mood-(Wagner, waltere
and Lisher,2004)
Treatment of RLS, such as iron deficiency, greatly relieves symptoms by receiving
iron supplementation. Medications that increase dopamine in brain m Drugs
Affecting calcium channels. Muscle relaxation and sleep medications(Darvishi et
al,2020)
Hemodialysis patients experience heavy symptom burden leads to decreased
quality of life. Effect of exercise on RLS, depression and sleep quality. This meta
analysis was conducted to identify whether exercise training is beneficial. Fiffteen
RCTS that meet inclusion criteria included. This showed that exercise training was
effective on RLS(p<0.001)
(Yuan-Yuan Song, Lin Chen, et al,2018)
