Recent studies have shown that restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) are common in pediatric population. The diagnostic criteria for Pediatric RLS have recently been updated to simplify and integrate with newly revised adult RLS criteria. Management of RLS and PLMD involves pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions. Children with low iron storage are likely to benefit from iron therapy. Although, there is limited information on pharmacologic therapy, there are emerging literatures showing the effectiveness of dopaminergic medications in the management of RLS and PLMD in children. This article covers clinical evaluation of RLS and PLMD in children and the relationship with growing pains.
最近的研究表明，不安腿综合征（RLS）和周期性肢体运动障碍（PLMD）在儿科人群中很常见。儿童RLS的诊断标准最近已经更新，以简化并与新修订的成人RLS标准相结合。RLS和PLMD的管理涉及药物和非药物干预。铁储存量低的儿童可能从铁疗法中受益。虽然关于药物治疗的信息有限，但有新出现的文献表明多巴胺能药物在儿童RLS和PLMD管理中的有效性。本文涵盖儿童RLS和PLMD的临床评估以及与生长痛的关系。
