Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common but highly undiagnosed sensorimotor disorder. It typically affects the lower extremities. However, various other parts of the body can be involved, such as the arms, the abdomen, the face, the oral cavity, head-neck, and the genital area. In addition, RLS is linked with a large number of comorbid conditions, including various headache disorders. Herein we are reporting two cases of RLS who also had headaches. The headaches fulfilled the criteria of chronic tension-type headache (CTTH). The administration of levodopa provided improvement in both RLS and CTTH. We suggest that that headache in a subset of patients with RLS may be the part of RLS symptoms complex.
不宁腿综合征（RLS）是一种常见但诊断率极低的感觉运动障碍。它通常影响下肢。然而，身体的其他各个部位也可能受累，如手臂、腹部、面部、口腔、头颈和生殖器区域。此外，不宁腿综合征与大量共病相关，包括各种头痛疾病。在此，我们报告两例同时患有头痛的不宁腿综合征患者。这些头痛符合慢性紧张型头痛（CTTH）的标准。左旋多巴治疗使不宁腿综合征和慢性紧张型头痛均得到改善。我们认为，一部分不宁腿综合征患者的头痛可能是不宁腿综合征症状复合体的一部分。
