ICD-11 code : 7A80;
Preferred Label : Restless legs syndrome;
ICD-11 definition : Restless legs syndrome is a waking sensorimotor disorder characterised by a complaint
of a strong, nearly irresistible urge to move the limbs. This urge to move is often
but not always accompanied by other uncomfortable sensations felt deep inside the
limbs. Although the legs are most prominently affected, a significant percentage of
individuals with Restless legs syndrome describe some arm sensations. The symptoms
of Restless legs syndrome are worse at rest, alleviated with movement, and predominant
in the evening or night. The symptoms are sufficiently severe to result in significant
distress or impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other
important areas of functioning (e.g., due to frequent disruptions in sleep). The vast
majority of individuals with Restless legs syndrome also exhibit periodic limb movements
during sleep. A separate diagnosis of Periodic limb movement disorder is not warranted
in such cases because the limb movements during sleep are considered to be an expected
part of Restless legs syndrome.;
