Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Restless leg syndrome or Willis–Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) is a highly prevalent medical condition. From an etiological point of view, it is usually classified as primary (idiopathic) or secondary. In recent years, many studies have addressed the role of genetic factors and the neurochemical features of idiopathic RLS/WED. However, less attention has been paid to secondary cases of this disease. For this reason, we think that the elaboration of a Special Issue on the association between RLS/WED and major (mainly systemic) diseases could be interesting, especially for general practicioners and physicians specialized in Internal Medicine. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the current knowledge of many diseases that could be associated with or increase the risk of suffering from RLS/WED.
