Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is associated with psychiatric disorders. We aim to investigate the personality traits of RLS patients using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
Twenty adult patients with RLS (14 females and 6 males) and 20 healthy controls (14 females and 6 males) who were referred to university neurology were enrolled in the present study. Diagnosis of RLS was established using International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group. Psychometric evaluation was made with the Turkish version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
RLS patients have significantly higher absolute and clinical elevation scores on hypochondriasis and hysteria, and clinical elevation scores on psychasthenia, compared with the controls. Absolute scores on depression were higher at the border in RLS patients compared with the controls.
RLS patients have hypochondriac, hysterical, depressive, and anxious personality traits.
不宁腿综合征（RLS）与精神障碍有关。我们旨在使用明尼苏达多相人格问卷来调查RLS患者的人格特质。
本研究纳入了20名转诊至大学神经科的成年RLS患者（14名女性和6名男性）以及20名健康对照者（14名女性和6名男性）。RLS的诊断依据国际不宁腿综合征研究组的标准确定。使用明尼苏达多相人格问卷的土耳其语版本进行心理测量评估。
与对照组相比，RLS患者在疑病症和癔症方面的绝对得分和临床升高得分显著更高，在神经衰弱方面的临床升高得分也更高。与对照组相比，RLS患者在抑郁方面的绝对得分在临界值处更高。
RLS患者具有疑病、癔症、抑郁和焦虑的人格特质。
