Frequently Asked Questions
20. How are movement disorders
treated?
Very often, people who suffer from movement disorders during sleep
such as restless legs syndrome or periodic limb movement disorder
are successfully treated with the same medications used for
Parkinson's disease. People with restless legs syndrome often have
low levels of iron in their blood. In such cases doctors often
prescribe supplements. (Answer continues on next
