Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is the most common movement disorder during sleep. RLS can induce lower limb pain which causes patients to feel a constant need to be moving, and this drastically reduces their ability to sleep. This greatly reduces quality of life in the patient, making a new method of treatment necessary to improve the patient’s ability to sleep uninterrupted. While current devices are available for the ten to fifteen percent of individuals who require treatment for RLS, there are significant improvements that can be made. The creation of a novel therapeutic device that provides relief in the form of heat, vibration, and cooling to those with RLS through automatic or manual control will prove beneficial to those who need assistance.
