It has helped my back pain, not my RLS, at least for ME. :)

The spinal fluid is our "dopamine transport system", but from what I have heard and experienced, it works on the nerves, the stimulation. it DOES sound like it should work, but , of course, there are no studies to point to. We tried everything before my last 2 back surgeries, and nada. It seemed to lessen the pain SOME, but not nearly enough. Did not touch my RLS.
