[Restless legs syndrome in Fabry disease: clinical feature associated to neuropathic pain is overlooked].

Abstract

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a main feature of Fabry disease (FD) as consequence of small fiber neuropathy. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) in FD was not described, but it is an important feature in other small fiber neuropathies, i.e., diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of RLS in patients with FD, and its association with neuropathy.
