NCT ID NCT00949806

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether botulinum toxin type A (like Botox) can ease symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in 27 adults who did not get enough relief from standard treatments. Participants received one injection, and researchers checked if leg discomfort and urge to move improved by at least half over 24 weeks. The goal is to offer a new option for people with severe RLS.
