"This is a new research article reporting on a case control study of the rate of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in early untreated Parkinson's and healthy controls. RLS is a diagnosis made on the basis of certain criteria and is not simply isolated leg restlessness. This is an important point because this study shows that isolated leg restlessness is more common in persons with early Parkinson's than healthy controls, but there is no difference in the rate of true RLS between these two groups."
