Featured Abstract
Emergence of restless legs syndrome during opioid discontinuation
The development of restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been rarely reported during and following opioid withdrawal. We aimed to determine the presence and severity of RLS symptoms during and after supervised opioid tapering. Ninety-seven adults enrolled in the Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Clinic (PRC) who underwent supervised prescription opioid tapering were prospectively recruited. Moderately severe symptoms of RLS, as assessed by survey, occur commonly in individuals undergoing opioid tapering, particularly if exposed to higher doses. In many cases, symptoms appear to be self-limited, although a minority develop persistent symptoms.
