Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep-related neurological disorder that causes an uncomfortable feeling in the legs and an irresistible urge to move them. It is also known as Willis-Ekbom disease. The exact cause is unknown, but it may be related to dopamine, a brain chemical that helps with muscle movement. Some cases may be inherited. Mild RLS can be treated with exercise, leg massages, and warm baths. For severe symptoms, some medications such as dopaminergic agents (levodopa), antiseizure agents (gabapentin), BZDs (clonazepam), and opioids are prescribed. However, many of the pharmaceuticals have unwanted side effects, and the potential for tolerance and dependence. In contrast to Western medicine, Oriental medicine such as acupuncture and herbal formula has a treatment modality with potential efficacy and few side effects. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theory for the cause of RLS is disclosed as reduction in the legs blood Yin and Xue (blood) which is responsible for body and brain relaxation. Shaoyao Gancao Tang is a classic formulation of TCM and was first recorded in the Treatise of Cold Damage written by Zhang Zhongjing (150-219 AD) for halting spasms and cramps of legs. In recent years, an increasing number of clinical trials has been conducted and published to demonstrate the effectiveness of Shaoyao Gancao Tang for the treatment of RLS. The major goal of RLS treatment is to provide symptom relief. The purpose of this study is to examine the additive effect of medical acupuncture and herbal formula on controlling the symptoms of RLS.
