Does anyone know if, in fact, there is research going on for RLS? If so, where is it being conducted?

I am pretty new to this site. I live in the United States.

There are at least a couple of people who have more information

on this for the USA and the UK.

From what my neuro and rheumy told me, rls is not one of the

front-runners for getting a lot of funding. There are few to none

going on in my part of the country. (Wisconsin- USA)

I really hope that Nightdancer can tell you a lot more. She is quite

reliable for this kind of information. =)

You can check out this website.

hopkinsmedicine.org/neurolo...

They don't list specific studies that are taking place but I'm sure if you contact someone they would let you know what studies they are currently running. They also might know of other studies being run by other schools or organizations.

If you find any that are ongoing, please let us know.

I'm living in Sweden, Karl-Axel Ekbom was swedish but there is no research going on here today, only some sleeping-labs that comes cross over some people with RLS/WED

The latest I heard is that som researcher (in US?) have found that not only dopamine but also glutamat/MSG is involved in RLS/WED.

Sorry for my poor English
