Patients with fibromyalgia have a high prevalence of restless legs syndrome, which may contribute to the sleep disruption and fatigue they commonly experience, a cross-sectional study suggested.
The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of restless legs syndrome among a cohort of fibromyalgia patients was 33% (95% CI 25.9 to 40.1) compared with 3.1% (95% CI 0 to 7.4,P<0.01)>
Moreover, patients with fibromyalgia had significantly higher scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, a validated tool for rating insomnia, at 10.6 versus 4.5 (P<0.01),> Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
