This review uncovers the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of movement disorders in sleep, indicating their significance in sleep medicine.
Movement disorders or disturbances (MD) comprise an important subset of sleep medicine. Among the known types of MDs, two are considered to be of great importance: disorders related to periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) and restless leg syndrome (RLS), which usually occur during sleep or at the transition between waking and sleep. These two problems tend to be associated and are frequently referred to by the common acronym RLS/PLMS. In addition to these, sleep related cramps, sleep bruxism and rhythmic movements make up the range of sleep-related movement disorders listed in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders. The present paper reviews the epidemiological, etiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of these diseases.
