Background: Restless leg syndrome (RLS) and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) share similar circadian timings and epidemiological characteristics.
Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate whether treating superficial venous reflux (SVR) improves the RLS severity in patients with CVI and whether there is an association of the RLS severity with the number of refluxed veins.
Materials And Methods: Patients with RLS and duplex ultrasound-proven SVR were identified from a database of 134 patients.
Article Synopsis
- - Stasis dermatitis primarily affects older adults and is caused by poor blood flow in the veins, leading to inflammation from breakdown products of red blood cells.
- - It typically appears as red, poorly defined patches on the lower legs and is associated with chronic venous insufficiency, requiring differentiation from conditions like cellulitis and contact dermatitis.
- - Treatment focuses on improving circulation with compression therapy, while modern options also include minimally invasive procedures like thermal ablation and foam sclerotherapy instead of traditional surgery.
