Abstract

Sleep-related movement disorders (SRMD) include restless legs syndrome (RLS), periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), most commonly presenting as periodic leg movements of sleep (PLMS), sleep-related leg cramps (SRLC), sleep-related bruxism, sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder (SRRMD), and other movement disorders in sleep. Treatments of the most common SRMD are reviewed in this article. The focus is on dopaminergic agents (DAs) in RLS and PLMD with some additional information about RLS therapy with opioids, anticonvulsants, and sedative–hypnotic agents. Limited discussion about management of SRLC, sleep-related bruxism, and SRRMD is also included.
