Restless legs may be associated with migraine

An intolerable internal feeling of itching or creeping sensations in the legs that forces the affected person to move his or her legs to get relief, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) occurs more often in people who suffer migraines than in those free of these debilitating headaches.

According to a recent study at the University of Munster, being older and having migraine headaches for a long time seem to raise the risk of RLS. Future studies may uncover a common genetic background for both RLS and migraine.
