110 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The study aims to observe changes in dopaminergic genes expression in peripheral tissue upon prolonged dopamine agonist treatment on patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Similar studies in Parkinson's disease have shown changes in alpha-synuclein expression, which might offer insights into the dopaminergic gene regulation seen in RLS. The dopamine agonist drugs to be included in this study are: Pramipexole (Mirapex), Ropinirole (Requip), Rotigotine (Neupro), Apomorphine (Apokyn), Bromocriptine (Parlodel). Specifically, the study will collect nasal swabs of participants partitioned into two groups, those who have not used a dopamine agonist or been on a dopamine agonist for less than 1 month compared to those who have been on the medication for 6 or more months. This research could provide insight into changes in dopaminergic gene expression associated with Augmentation Syndrome (AS) which occurs after long term dopamine agonist treatment in RLS patients.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) research has focused on the sensory features and failed to address an important aspect of RLS; i.e. a 'hyperarousal' or profound chronic sleep loss without significant excessive daytime sleepiness. This hyperarousal produces RLS symptoms by overwhelming the normal inhibitory processes needed to decrease sensory and motor cortical activity for resting and sleep. Thus the hyperarousal produces both the RLS need to move when trying to rest and the inability to maintain sleep. The biological consequences of this hyperarousal process on sleep (increased wake time) and cortical excitability (as demonstrated by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)) are postulated to reflect increased degree of excitatory glutamatergic activity, and therefore affected brain regions will show relatively increased glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) on MR spectroscopy (MRS). Changes in inhibitory activity and GABA may also occur, but less significantly than the increase in Glu/Gln. Our pilot MRS data discovered a new abnormality in RLS: increased Thalamic Glx (Glu + Gln) that correlated well with sleep measures of hyperarousal. Glx levels are not specific for the neurotransmitter role of Glu. In this project RLS and matching controls subjects will be studied using polysomnograms (PSG) and TMS and 7T MRI for MRS that provides accurate measurement of Gln levels, which reflect mostly neurotransmitter Glu activity. The first aim is to confirm that Gln is increased in the thalamus and to determine if this also occurs in the motor and sensory cortices. The relation between Glu, Gln and GABA will also be evaluated. Second, assessments will be made of the degree of relation between Gln increase and the hyperarousal effects on sleep and cortical excitability (TMS). This would demonstrate that abnormally increased Glu activity is primary to RLS hyperarousal and radically changes the emphasis in RLS to be less on dopamine and more on Glu-hyperarousal as a major feature of RLS.This is an entirely new direction for RLS research and treatment development. The new concept of hyperarousal adds a missing dimension to understanding RLS, namely the discovery of the Glu abnormality and its central relation to the other hyperarousal features.
This is a sleep laboratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rotigotine in subjects with Restless Legs Syndrome and End-Stage Renal Disease requiring hemodialysis.

This was a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation, Phase 2A study with multiple administrations of the rotigotine transdermal system. The study was conducted in adolescent subjects (13 to \<18 years of age) with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid that is the precursor of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. Tyrosine is converted into Levodihydrophenylalanine (L-Dopa) and L-Dopa is subsequently and avidly converted into dopamine. It is well known that dopamine deficiency leads to the manifestations of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Studies have shown dopamine agonists and L-dopa to be effective in controlling symptoms. No studies to date have been done to determine the role of tyrosine in RLS. This open-label pilot study aims to determine the efficacy and tolerability of tyrosine in RLS, as current agents have limitations in treating RLS in addition to adding another possible agent to the investigators arsenal of treating RLS that maybe more cost efficient. In this pilot study, the dose of tyrosine will be escalated from 750 mg once daily by mouth (PO) up to 3000 mg once daily PO, as tolerated, in increments of 750 mg every week in patients who meet the inclusion criteria for RLS. Patients' symptoms will be monitored on a weekly basis for six weeks.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled, entitled: "Intravenous Iron Metabolism in Restless Legs Syndrome
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pregabalin (Lyrica) in treating patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
This study will test whether botulinum toxin (Botox) may relieve the uncomfortable sensations patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) experience. RLS is a common movement disorder that causes sensory discomfort and restlessness, most often in the legs, which improves with movement. Although medications are available to treat the disorder, many people experience side effects that prevent them from continuing on the medication. The Food and Drug Administration has approved Botox for other movement disorders and for some cosmetic uses. People 18 years of age or older with moderate to severe RLS who have been taking RLS medications for more than 6 weeks before entering the study may be eligible to participate. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical and neurological examinations, blood tests and, for women who can become pregnant, a urine pregnancy test. Participants are randomly assigned to receive injections of either Botox or placebo (salt water) into up to nine areas of the legs. The correct location of the muscles to be injected is determined by electromyography (EMG), a test that measures the electrical activity of muscles. For surface EMG, electrodes (small metal disks) are filled with a conductive gel and taped to the skin. Needle EMG involves inserting a needle into a muscle. Both methods are used in this study. At 2 and 4 weeks after the injections, subjects are interviewed by telephone and asked to describe their symptoms, side effects and any improvement they may have noticed. After 12 weeks they return to NIH for injections with the alternate compound; that is, those who received Botox previously are given placebo for the second set of injections, and vice-versa. Subjects are again contacted by telephone 2 and 4 weeks after the injections to report their symptoms, side effects and benefits.
