Common Symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

• Uncomfortable sensations in the legs (tingling, itching, or “creepy-crawly” feelings)
• Strong urge to move your legs to stop the feeling
• Symptoms that worsen when resting or at night
• Temporary relief with movement, stretching, or walking
• Difficulty falling or staying asleep

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) may sometimes occur alongside vascular conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency, poor circulation, or varicose veins. A vascular evaluation can help identify whether an underlying vein condition contributes to your symptoms and determine whether treatment may provide relief.

Why Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Should Be Evaluated

While occasional leg restlessness is common, frequent or severe symptoms may indicate Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)or another underlying health condition. In some patients, venous insufficiency and increased pressure in the leg veins may contribute to discomfort and restlessness, so a thorough evaluation is important to identify potential causes.

An evaluation at Ohio Vein and Vascular can help identify whether venous reflux, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), or varicose veins may be contributing to your restless legs symptoms. If we identify an underlying vein condition, appropriate treatment may relieve leg discomfort and improve sleep quality.

Advanced Treatment Options for Restless Legs

Our vascular specialists offer minimally invasive, in-office treatments designed to improve blood circulation and relieve leg discomfort associated with underlying vein conditions:

• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Closes weakened veins so blood flows through healthy ones.
• ClariVein®: A gentle, non-thermal treatment that seals diseased veins using medication and mechanical action.
• Varithena®: A prescription microfoam that treats larger varicose veins through a small injection.
• Sclerotherapy: Injections that close smaller surface veins, improving both comfort and appearance.
• Lifestyle Guidance: Recommendations for leg movement, elevation, and compression therapy to ease nighttime symptoms.

Our goal is to improve healthy blood flow, reduce leg discomfort from underlying vein conditions, and help you rest better and improve your quality of life.
