In a study titled “(NEURO)INFLAMMATORY COMPONENT MAY BE A COMMON FACTOR IN CHRONIC WIDESPREAD PAIN AND RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME”

Researchers made the following observations:

1. Proinflammatory/neuroinflammatory processes may be an underlying, common factor in both Chronic Widespread Pain and Restless Legs Syndrome.
2. RLS prevalence increases with an increased number of pain areas and the higher the inflammatory load by spreading, the higher the occurrence of RLS.
3. The etiology of RLS remains uncertain, but there is increasing evidence for proinflammatory and neuroimmunoendocrine mechanisms.
