Abstract
Restless Legs Syndrome is a common neurological disorder characterized by uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations in the legs with an urge to move. The symptoms occur at rest, are relieved by movement, and are worse in the evening and at night and are a cause of sleepdisturbances. A patient is presented who reports that consuming sugary foods, such as icecream, soft drinks, candy, chocolate and pastries, increases his symptoms of RLS. With an n-1-trial, a study for one patient, he is alternately exposed to sugar-rich and low-sugar food, which shows that his complaints increase or decrease. An increase in the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) due to the use of high-sugar foods has not previously been described in the literature.
